TORONTO — Toronto mayor David Miller says the city is joining the ranks of Canadian municipalities considering a ban on the sale of bottled water.
Mr. Miller says city council will examine how the city can curb bottled water waste as part of a larger effort to reduce the amount of garbage that ends up in landfills.
A report outlining the city's options will come before council in November.
Mr. Miller says Toronto's tap water is more pure than the leading brand of bottled water.
