36 CFR Parts 1190 and 1191 ADA and ABA Accessibility Guidelines - Preamble (Discussion of Comments and Changes)

Comment. The proposed rule, consistent with the original ADAAG, addressed both drinking fountains and water coolers. Comments advised that the guidelines should not address "water coolers," a term which is often used to refer to bottled units that are not plumbed or permanently fixed.

Response. The Board has removed the references to "water coolers" in section 602.1 for clarity and consistency with the scope of the guidelines.
