Three questions from the Facilities, Water, Plumbing, Waste & Pest bank with the correct answer and an explanation. The practice quiz above draws 30 questions at random from the same bank.
From what source must a food establishment obtain its drinking (potable) water?
- An approved public water system, or a non-public system operated per law — Correct answer
- Any well on the property, regardless of testing
- Bottled water only, never plumbed water
- Collected rainwater stored on site
Explanation: Drinking water must come from an approved PUBLIC water system, or from a non-public water system that is constructed, maintained, and operated according to law. A private well that is not constructed and tested per regulation is not an approved source.

- Only once when the well is first drilled
- Every five years
- Only after a customer complaint
