(1) Site evaluation. The lead agency may include reclaimed water permit conditions for additional use area requirements in sensitive or critical areas, or where deemed that additional measures are needed or the lead agency may determine use in a proposed area is infeasible, and not approve it. The generator, responsible person or persons must:
(a) Assure that any proposed use site is appropriate for reclaimed water use, is not prohibited by local codes or ordinances, and is protective of public health and the environment.
(b) Provide site evaluation information to the lead agency.
(2) Signage or advisory notification. The generator, distributor, or user must notify the public and employees at the use site of the reclaimed water in all use areas by the posting of advisory signs, distribution of written advisory notices, or both.
(a) Signage must be clearly visible, emphasize the color purple, and read "Reclaimed Water - Do Not Drink," or other language acceptable to health or required by chapter
51-56 WAC when applicable.
(b) Health may approve other methods of notification that provide equivalent public health protection. The labeling, pipeline separation, and other design requirements of WAC
173-219-360 apply to all uses unless otherwise specified by the lead agency.
(3) Use confined to site. The generator, distributor, and user must confine Class B reclaimed water, including runoff and spray, to the use area in the permit and/or the use agreement.
(4) Restrict operation. The generator, distributor, and user must limit operation of all reclaimed water valves and outlets to authorized personnel. They must control or restrict access to hose bibs on reclaimed water lines.
(5) Labeling and design. The labeling, pipeline separation, and other design requirements of WAC
173-219-360, apply to all uses unless otherwise specified by the lead agency.
