111090
. Any owner or operator of a water-vending machine or other
device from which any operator or customer dispenses vended water
shall comply with the following standards of design, construction and
sanitation and any additional standards adopted by regulation that
the department determines are reasonably necessary to protect the
public health. The water-vending machines or devices shall do all of
the following:
(a) Comply with the construction and performance standards
established by the department or by an independent authority approved
by the department.
(b) Be designed and constructed to permit easy cleaning and
maintenance of all exterior and interior surfaces.
(c) Have all parts and surfaces that come into contact with the
water constructed of approved, corrosive-resistant and nonabsorbent
material capable of withstanding repeated cleaning and sanitizing
treatment.
(d) Have a recessed or guarded corrosion-resistant dispensing
spout.
(e) Be designed so that all treatment of the vended water by
distillation, ion exchange, filtration, ultraviolet light, reverse
osmosis, mineral addition, or any other acceptable process is done in
an effective manner.
(f) Have an effective system of handling drip, spillage, and
overflow of water.
(g) Have a backflow prevention device approved by the department
for all connections with the water supply.
(h) Dispense water disinfected by ultraviolet light or other
method approved by the department prior to delivery into the customer'
s container.
(i) Be equipped with monitoring devices designed to shutdown
operation of the machine when the disinfection unit fails to
function, or shall be monitored daily at startup and manually
shutdown whenever the unit fails to function.
(j) Be equipped with a self-closing, tight-fitting door on the
vending compartment, or enclosing the vending spout to protect the
vending spout when the water-vending machine is not in use. As an
alternative, water-vending machines or other water-dispensing devices
may be enclosed in a room with tight-fitting walls, ceilings, and
one of the following: a self-closing door, an effective air screen
device, or an alternative effective device approved by the
department.
(k) Comply with the American Water Works Association (AWWA)
specifications for granular activated carbon if used in the treatment
of potable water (AWWA B604-74).

private water source.
(n) Be located in an area that can be maintained in a clean
condition and in a manner that avoids insect and rodent harborage.
(o) Be equipped with monitoring devices designed to shut down the
labeled purified water delivery system if treatment of water by the
machine does not result in a total dissolved solids content of less
than 10 milligrams per liter in the purified water. Alternatively,
machines shall be monitored daily at startup and manually shutdown
whenever the total dissolved solids content exceeds 10 milligrams per
liter in the purified water.
