2010 California Standards for Accessible Design (excerpts relating to Safe Harbors only)
SECTION 1117B - OTHER BUILDING COMPONENTS
1117B.1 Accessible drinking fountains. Where drinking fountains are provided, they shall comply with this section:
1. General. Where only one drinking fountain area is provided on a floor, there shall be a drinking fountain that is accessible to individuals who use wheelchairs in accordance with this section and one accessible to those who have difficulty bending or stooping. This can be accommodated by the use of "hi-low" fountains, or by such other means as would achieve the required accessibility for each group on each floor.
Where more than one drinking fountain is provided on a floor, 50 percent of those provided shall comply with Items 1, 2, 4 and 5 of this section and shall be on an accessible route complying with Section 1114B.1.2. All drinking fountains shall comply with Item 3 of this section.
ETA Editor's Note
The requirements of 2010 CBC 1117B.1, Item 1 are similar to 1991 ADAAG 4.1.3(10)(a) & (b). The requirements of 2013 CBC 11B-602.7 are identical to 2010 ADAS 602.7, and are more definitive than the earlier regulations.
