Oak Bluffs is attempting to figure out how to enforce its ban on the sale of single-use plastic drink bottles. The board of health this week said it has too much on its plate to implement the bylaw.

The Oak Bluffs  board of health decided Tuesday to ask the Inter-Island Public Health Excellence Collaborative, a group that brings together boards of health from the Vineyard towns, to discuss the prohibition.

The Oak Bluffs select board reaffirmed its support for the town’s plastic water bottle ban Tuesday, agreeing to direct the town’s board of health to enforce the neglected ban on sales.
