(a) All exposed piping carrying potable water shall be uniformly painted a distinguishing bright blue color and so maintained that each pipe may be readily traced in its entirety by such color. All lines that carry secondary water shall be painted brown. In instances where these colors conflict with established systems of painting in a particular establishment, the Authority may allow the use of other colors of equal brightness and distinction, provided that the alternative color code is submitted to and accepted by the Authority prior to painting of the pipe. Any such color code shall be posted on the premises at locations approved by the Authority.
(b) Color coding requirements will be deemed to have been met if three inch bands of blue or brown paint are used at intervals of not more than 25 feet and at points where exposed piping passes through walls, floors or roofs. The bands shall be applied to the piping on both sides of the walls and both above and below the floor or roof.
