didn't know that. Just fill several ice chest with water & tell them here it is or bring your own.
Even if they bring their own we as owners or job site supers have to provide it also. OSHA is obviously on the employees side. The whole water cooler thing is a PIA.

Get with a company like this. They are turn key replenishing ice, coolers, and water on your jobsite daily. We use them here at the refinery. No telling how many thousands of bottles of water are consumed here per day with 3-4 thousand people here on an average day.
There are others around besides Baytown Ice. This is the best way to go. Plus, no filthy hands in the cooler if you use a dip net to get the bottles out.
Thank goodness for indoor plumbing. As long as I pay the bill my cup is full.
There have been a lot of boil water notices going around. So just because you pay the bill doesn’t always mean that you’ve got drinking water out of the faucet.
Yup, the tape and seal rule is one that most GCs and employees want to see. Not a requirement. But here ya go.

Dog refuses to drink bottled water. She will drink out of the creek, tap or toilet but never out of a plastic water bottle. That was a good enough reason for me to stop.
