Such fixtures and outlets may include water closets, urinals, irrigation, mechanical equipment, and hose connections to perform operations, such as vehicle washing and lawn maintenance.
Nonpotable water systems. Water systems for the collection, treatment, storage, distribution, and use or reuse of nonpotable water. Nonpotable systems include reclaimed water, rainwater, and gray water systems.
Service sink. A general purpose sink exclusively intended to be used for facilitating the cleaning of a building or tenant space.

2. Change the following definitions in the IPC to read:
Rainwater. Natural precipitation, including snow melt, from roof surfaces only.
