Health department says water is not safe to drink,

[Mr. Inspector]

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?

Shower with one legged ladies? I knew Cali people were weird but....

Is the water officially not safe to drink, or does everybody in town just say it tastes funny? Can they install bottled water stations?

PPC 410.2 says you don't need DF for 15 or fewer people. IBC occupant load for business is 150 gross. That's 2,250 SF of gas station. Are they really getting bigger than that?

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?

 

[Mr. Inspector]

No city water, only well water. All I know is the owner said the state health department said it is not safe to only drink and the code require drinking fountains. Building never had a C. O. so it will be a change of occupancy, an addition and alterations. The addition will be a large walking frig with doors on the inside for soda and beer like you see at most mini markets.

If it had something official from the health department saying the water is not safe to drink, I would have no problem waiving the requirement for a water fountain.

A word search on the term "composting" (as in composting toilets) will bring up a number of discussions regarding alternative compliance methods in lieu of the adopted plumbing code requirements for minimum plumbing facilities, particularly for rural areas, camps, etc.
