A: We don't have enough information to provide a detailed answer. There are many situations in which running water would not be required but drinking water probably must be available, even if it is just bottled or in a thermos. There could be city or county health code issues requiring running water (and hot water), depending on the type of business and where it is located. If you work at a stationary site where employees are normally located, it is likely that there must be a bathroom with hot and cold running water or warm running water under federal regulations.
