What are the requirements for water, garbage, and sewer in my home?

(1) You must maintain adequate sewage and garbage facilities. You must discharge sewage into a public system or into a functioning septic system or a Washington state department of health approved or tribal authority alternative system.
(2) You must have access to a public water supply unless you have a private water supply tested by the local health district or a private water-testing laboratory approved by the Washington state department of ecology or tribal government. Testing is required at the time of licensing, relicensing and at any time the department or CPA deems necessary.
(3) The temperature of running water must not exceed 120 degrees. If the provider does not have control over the main water temperature, the provider must prevent children from being burned or scalded by hot water.
