Local council Gym with no water?

I've joined my local gym and swimming pool which was recently rebuilt with a million or so of lottery funding.

Does anyone know if they are supposed to provide water facilities.

I ask this as the toilet tap water is warm and not marked if it is drinking water and the vending machines are £1 for a small bottle.

I would have thought health and safety rules that they should have drinking taps through out the centre, especially with a lot of children running about
What do you think?

  • I don't know what the law is on this, but I'm surprised they don't provide water. Most places have a little water fountain even if it does taste like toilet water :rotfl: I think there's something wrong here.
