Airport
The airport authority has the responsibility to ensure the availability of a sufficient quantity of
appropriate quality water. An airport may receive potable water from either a
municipal/public or private supply, or the airport operator itself may be the water supplier
responsible for producing the water that it uses. In the latter case, the airport would be almost
identical to a public water supplier in its operations and responsibilities. The potable water is
delivered to potable water cabinets, water trucks, carts, filling stations and airport buildings
through the airport’s distribution system. The delivery of the potable water to the aircraft is
by designated filling hoses connected to the airport water system either directly or indirectly
through water trucks and carts.
