Question

Is it the intent of Section 410.1 to require a drinking fountain in a gas station (mercantile occupancy) of less than 1,200 SF when water is served free with cups from fountain dispenser?

Answer Published 08/02/2012 at 4:29 PM

YES it is the intent of 410.1 and table 403.1 that drinking
fountains are required in a gas station.

410.1 Specifically states that where water is served in
restaurants they do not need to provide a drinking
fountain. This would not apply to other types of
occupancies.

Commentary

None.
