The council of Canadians are looking for city hall to become the first Blue Community.
The campaign asks municipalities to resist public private partnerships in regards to water, and to promote water as a human right, not a commercial commodity.
Spokesperson Meera Karunananthan says her group wants Saint John to be the first municipality to get on board with the project, but says she understands why cities are hesitant about committing to the campaign.
She says her group is looking at ways to help stop the federal government from removing conventionalities on subsidies causing municipalities to explore P3's.
The Council of Canadians are looking to present to council at a later date, and if it is accepted the sale of bottled water in city buildings will be banned.
