§ 114205 Food Facility Water Requirements

Key Takeaways

  • •Food trucks or temporary food stands must have clean water and a way to dispose of dirty water if they're not using pre-packaged food.
  • •If they can't have their own water and waste tanks, they need to get special permission to connect to temporary water and waste systems.
  • •Regular restaurants or permanent food places must follow a bunch of other rules about cleanliness and safety.

Example

A food truck at a fair selling tacos.

The food truck must have its own clean water tank to wash hands and clean utensils, and a waste tank to throw out dirty water. If it can't have these, it needs to get special permission to connect to temporary water and waste systems at the fair.
