Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

While there is no ban or restriction on selling bottled water the student government has passed a resolution that states that the student body will work "to support policies choosing municipal water services over bottled water to fulfill St Lawrence’s commitment to climate neutrality and sustainability. The society will provide support for programs like hydration stations which provide filtered tap water to campus. This resolution accepts that improvements to our current water infrastructure must be made until St. Lawrence is completely bottled water free. Initial changes will involve phasing out Dasani and Aquafina brands and providing all incoming freshmen with reusable water bottles." The students provided funding to install another hydration station on campus.
