I saw a guy I work with drinking out of the potable water hose as he was "purging" it before filling an Airbus....Gag.

Is my definition of potable different than y'alls? I thought potable meant drinkable?

:dunno:

How often do you think the potable tanks on an airliner are cleaned/serviced? Or how about the garden hoses they use to fill the tanks?

My guess is that it's not weekly, by any means.

So very true, but I was trained, at a very young age, to see the irony in those placards. Are saying that there's a system out ther that is useful?

I'm corporate, not airline. Our water is drinkable. Don't have a clue about the big iron water systems. :insane:

Which I've heard are sometimes the same hoses that rinse out/refill lav carts. When I was on the DL ramp we were actually forbidden to do potable water service because the water was so bad. I guess they audit stations to see how clean the equipment is. Ours only get used a handful of times in the winter months. No telling what kind of crap festers and grows in there the rest of the year.
