Section 2-1-4-07-02-202.08 - Water Supply:1. The water supply shall be ample, clean, and potable with adequate pressure and facilities for its distribution in the plant, and its protection against contamination and pollution. A water analysis report, issued under authority of the State Board of Health Department, certifying to the potability of the water supply, shall be obtained by the plant owner or operator, and furnished to the Commissioner of Agriculture when deemed necessary or as required by the Commissioner.2. Hose connections with steam and water mixing valves or hot water hose connections shall be provided at convenient locations throughout the plant for cleaning purposes and the temperature of the hot water shall be maintained at not less than 180 degrees F.3. The refuse rooms shall be provided with adequate facilities for washing refuse cans and other equipment and shall be thoroughly cleaned and scalded or steamed after each day's use.4. Non-potable water is permitted only in those parts of official plants where no product is handled or prepared, and then only for limited purposes such as on condensers not connected with the potable water supply, in vapor lines serving inedible products rendering tanks, and in sewer lines for moving heavy solids in the sewage. Nonportable water is not permitted for washing floors, areas, or equipment, nor is it permitted in boilers, scalders, chill vats, or ice making machines. Non-potable water lines shall be clearly identified and shall not be cross connected with the potable supply line. Any untested water supply in an official establishment shall be treated as a non-potable supply.2 Miss. Code. R. 1-4-07-02-202.08
