Back to Tap Encourage residents to reduce the number of disposable water bottles used and thrown into the trash in Montgomery .  Ask residents to switch from bottled water to tap water, to use reusable water bottles when possible and to recycle.  Publicize the quality of tap water (Elizabethtown/NJ American Water can provide data).  Educate residents on health reusable bottles, for example, plastic BPA-free bottles, stainless steel and glass.  See www.back2tap.com for more information.
