A. Potable water supply systems for use by transient lodging facility occupants shall meet the requirements, rules, and regulations of the state of Utah rules relating to public drinking water supplies.
B. Unless otherwise exempted or provided by the director or applicable state of Utah public drinking water rules:
1. The design of water system facilities shall be based on the supplier's engineer's estimate of water demands, but shall in no case be less than the following:
Source capacity: | 150 gallons per day per hotel, motel or resort unit. |
Storage volume: | 75 gallons per hotel, motel or resort unit. |
2. Distribution system capacity: Shall maintain a water system pressure in excess of twenty (20) psi at all points in the distribution system during peak hourly flow conditions. The peak hourly flow should be calculated for the number of fixture units and in accordance with the applicable plumbing code(s).
C. In addition to any rules, regulations, processes, reviews, and approvals required and/or provided by applicable state law, including rule 392-502, UAC:
1. The above stated source and storage requirements do not include water demands for outside use or fire protection. If the culinary system is intended to provide water for such purposes, the above stated water requirements must be appropriately increased. Specific information on watering requirements (e.g., area of land to be irrigated) must be provided for city review and approval.
2. Construction of a public drinking water supply system intended to serve occupants of any transient lodging facility shall not commence until plans prepared by a licensed professional registered engineer (in accordance with title 58, chapter 22, "professional engineers, and land surveyors licensing act", Utah Code Annotated (1953, as amended)) have been submitted to and approved in writing by the city. Following construction, the system may not be placed in service until a final inspection is made by the city.
D. All systems shall be monitored in accordance with the state of Utah public drinking water rules and in cooperation with the local health department having jurisdiction.
E. Any culinary system or portion thereof that is drained seasonally must be cleaned, flushed and disinfected prior to use. Furthermore, a water sample of satisfactory bacteriologic quality, i.e., a sample showing not more than one coliform bacteria per one hundred milliliters (100 ml) sample, must be obtained before being placed into service.
F. Systems operated on a seasonal basis may be required to sample for bacteriologic analysis at an accelerated frequency as determined by the director or director of the local health department having jurisdiction. (Ord. 2013-09, 7-17-2013)
