Covid19 Guidelines for Refill Drinking Fountains ~ via City to Sea

 

1. The fountain user queues a safe distance from the fountain and from anyone else waiting to use it. (Check the latest government advice for your local area on the recommended social distance guidelines).

2. The user should wash their hands thoroughly or use hand sanitiser before and after touching the button/any part of the fountain.

3. The user is advised to use an elbow/ back of hand/ knee to operate the fountain if hand washing facilities/hand sanitiser is not available. The user should be careful to not sneeze or cough in the direction of the fountain.

4. The fountain user should let the water flow for 10 seconds before refilling their water bottle to ensure the water is fresh.

5. The user should avoid touching the waterspout or water nozzle with their water bottle or their hands.

6. The fountain needs to be regularly cleaned by the organisation who is responsible for maintaining the potability of the water.
