Every restaurant and drinking place shall be provided with adequate and conveniently located toilet facilities for employees, conforming with local ordinances which are in effect. Toilet rooms shall be kept in a clean condition, in good repair, the walls free from defacement, well-lighted and well-ventilated to the outside air. Signs shall be posted in each toilet room used by employees, directing employees to wash their hands before returning to work. Where water under pressure is available, only flushing, water-retaining closets may be used.

In any new construction, toilet rooms must be separated from the establishment proper by a vestibule vented to the outside air. The doors of both vestibules and toilet rooms must be made self-closing. Booths open at the top shall not qualify as adequate toilet rooms.

In case privies or earth closets are permitted and used, they shall be separate from the establishment and shall be of a sanitary type constructed and operated in conformity with the rules and regulations of the State Board of Health. (Ord. 5212 § 1 (Exh. C), 1999; 1957 code § 4.02.170.)
