WAC 296-800-23010   Clearly mark the water outlets that are not fit for drinking (nonpotable).  

     You must:

     (1) Mark water outlets that are not fit for drinking (nonpotable), such as those used for industrial processes or firefighting, so they will not be used for:

     • Drinking

     • Washing themselves, except in emergencies

     • Cooking

     • Washing food, eating utensils, or clothing.

     (2) Prohibit the use of nonpotable water containing substances that could create unsafe conditions such as:

     • Concentrations of chemicals, such as lead or chlorine

     • Fecal coliform bacteria.


Note: As long as the nonpotable water is free of substances that could create unsafe conditions, the water can be used for cleaning both:
Work premises used for activities other than food preparation or processing
AND
Personal service rooms, such as bathrooms.
Reference: You may need to follow additional requirements for emergency washing facilities. See WAC 296-800-150 First aid, for more information.
