Doing a plan review. I have a gas station that wants to add an addition. Because the increase of occupants drinking fountains are now required and the water is not safe to drink. I don't know what to do now. Should I make them go to the appeal board?
 
Is the water officially not safe to drink, or does everybody in town just say it tastes funny? Can they install bottled water stations?

Can't they substitute a bottled water dispenser in place of the drinking fountain?

Of course, then there's the problem of who gets to ensure that they keep buying bottled water -- or that they don't refill the bottle with the unsafe water ...
 
If the water isn’t safe enough to drink, it’s probably not safe to use in a bathroom either. What is the problem with the water?
