Section 6 CCR 1010-11-4.0 - WATER SUPPLY
4.1 The camp water system shall be designed, constructed and protected so as to assure that safe, potable and adequate water supply is produced for domestic purposes in compliance with Colorado Department of Health regulations.
4.2 No surface or cistern water supply shall be used except under conditions approved by the Colorado Department of Health. When such a facility is approved for use, water shall be obtained from an acceptable source and transported in an approved tank. Such stored water shall contain a chlorine residual of at least 0.3 p.p.m.
4.3 Well and cistern water supplies, not under pressure, shall be properly protected and provided with an enclosed, self-priming type pump. Open pitcher pumps are not permitted.
4.4 Where water is distributed under pressure, the water supply system shall deliver water at normal operating pressures (minimum 20 lbs. per square inch) to all fixtures at a rate of at least 20 percent of the total daily required volume needed for any one hour peak use period. The water supply system shall be capable of delivering at least 35 gallons of water per person per day.
4.5 Potable drinking water shall be readily available to both shed and field workers. The use of common drinking cups is prohibited. All tanks and receptacles used for storage or dispensing of water must be constructed so that water will be kept in a clean and sanitary condition.
4.6 Adequate facilities for providing hot water for bathing, laundering and dishwashing purposes shall be available in all camps.
4.7 In existing camps, all shelters or habitable areas shall be located within 100 feet of a water supply outlet. Drainage facilities shall be provided to accommodate the overflow or spillage from such outlets to prevent contamination or nuisance conditions.
4.8 In all camps hereafter constructed, water under pressure shall be supplied to all dwelling units and to all other buildings in which cooking is permitted or which contain toilet, bathing, laundry or dishwashing facilities.
