6.7 Water service lines, riser pipes, and valves shall be installed and protected from damage by freezing, ground movement, vehicles, or other damage sources. Shut-off valves and drain valves, installed for draining the system, and the water service distribution lines shall be so arranged that water will be available to those campsites being occupied during low temperature winter periods. Underground stop and waste valves are not permitted and shall not be installed on any water service.

6.8 Where water connections are provided at each campsite and there are individual sewer connections, the riser pipe shall be at least 1/2 inch size and shall extend at least 4 inches vertically above the ground elevation. It shall be equipped with a 1/2 inch valve outlet with a threaded male spigot for attaching a standard garden hose.

6.10 Drinking fountains, if provided, shall be approved angle jet types with adequate water pressures.

6.11 Spillage, overflow, drainage, or waste water from faucets and drinking fountains shall be discharged to approved drains to prevent impoundment of water, creation of mud holes or other nuisance conditions.

6.12 A water station for filling camping vehicle water storage tanks shall be provided at the rate of one station for every 100 campsites. These shall be located not less than 50 feet from a sanitary station. The station shall be posted with signs of durable material (not less than two feet) which state: POTABLE WATER - DO NOT USE TO FLUSH CAMPING VEHICLE WASTE TANKS. Such water stations shall consist of at least a 3/4 inch pipe and valve outlet and shall be protected against the hazards of backflow and backsiphonage by an approved vacuum breaker located downstream from the shutoff valve. The fill hose shall be suspended so that no part of the hose and its appurtenances will come into contact with the ground. A sign shall be posted at the entrance indicating the provision of a sanitary station and water station.
