Connecticut Administrative Code › Title 19 - Public Health and Safety › 13-F - The Public Health Code of the State of Connecticut › Chapter VI - LAND AND AIR CONVEYANCES OF COMMON CARRIERS › Section 19-13-F6 - Water supply on land and air conveyances

Current through July 10, 2024
Equipment on land and air conveyances for the storage and
				  distribution of water used for drinking and for other personal or domestic
				  purposes shall be such as to provide for the delivery of water of safe and
				  sanitary quality, and shall be in accordance with the following
				  requirements:
(a) The water system,
				either of the pressure or gravity type, on any conveyance shall preferably be
				complete and closed from the filling ends to the discharge taps and in no case
				shall be so operated as to admit contamination. Such system shall be of
				adequate capacity for maximum requirements and shall be so constructed as to
				facilitate cleaning and inspection. Water of like approved quality shall be
				supplied for all purposes: Drinking, culinary, washing and toilet-flushing. The
				storage tanks shall be flushed periodically with water from an approved
				supply.
(b) In new equipment on
				railway conveyances there shall be filling pipes or connections for supplying
				the water tanks on both sides of the conveyance so that the sanitary quality of
				the water may not be impaired by inadequate equipment or facilities. Filling
				pipe connections shall be so located and constructed as to provide for
				protection against contamination. The end of the filling pipe shall be flushed
				with water from an approved supply before attachment of a hose.
(c) Coolers for water on conveyances shall be
				maintained in a sanitary condition at all times and shall be so designed and
				constructed that the water cooled for drinking purposes shall be chilled in
				such manner that the ice or refrigerant cannot come in contact with the water.
				A supply of single service cups protected against contamination shall be
				available at all water coolers or chilled water faucets unless coolers are
				equipped with drinking fountains of an approved type.
(d) Where water filters are employed on
				conveyances, they shall be so designed and operated as not to introduce any
				pollution hazard to the drinking water supply.
(e) There shall not be provided for drinking
				water purposes on any conveyance any cup, glass or any other container which
				may be used by more than one person unless such cup, glass or container shall
				have been thoroughly cleansed and subjected to bactericidal treatment after
				each individual use, in the manner prescribed in section 4-703.11 of the food
				code, as defined in section 19a-36g of the Connecticut General
				Statutes.
(a) The water system,
				either of the pressure or gravity type, on any conveyance shall preferably be
				complete and closed from the filling ends to the discharge taps and in no case
				shall be so operated as to admit contamination. Such system shall be of
				adequate capacity for maximum requirements and shall be so constructed as to
				facilitate cleaning and inspection. Water of like approved quality shall be
				supplied for all purposes: Drinking, culinary, washing and toilet-flushing. The
