Prohibits city agencies from procuring single-use water containers

This bill prohibits New York City agencies from purchasing single-use plastic water containers, aiming to reduce waste and promote sustainability. It defines these containers as sealed plastic bottles under one gallon containing unflavored water intended for one-time use. While the rule is strict, it allows exceptions for protecting health and safety, responding to emergencies, or honoring existing contracts and labor agreements. The changes take effect immediately upon passage.
