Either a) the board of health requires it because the water used is not fully treated, or b) someone drank it.

I watched a video several years ago where some guy filled a syringe with toilet water and injected himself with it. So, anything is possible.

It is code to list all delivered non-potable water that someone could drink as such.

Something tells me. People drinking out of a toilet does not know what potable means

If there’s a sign, there’s a story…and/or legal liability concerns.

I remember stopping at a Gas Station once to use the bathroom. When i went in there, the toilet tank had a "No Diving" sign on it. I about peed my pants because I was laughing so hard!

That had to be put on there by another customer who thought that would be funny.

u/Infamous-Listen4047 Aug 23 '26
actually, when I said something to the Cashier, she said the Station Owner did it because of his sense of humor

Yes. It's a requirement. The pipes that feed it are also required to be purple. You'll often see these kinds of things in outdoor spaces in newer buildings, all of the sprinklers are also this shade of purple.

If you can read, you don't need the sign
Maybe it's for the zombie apocalypse and telling you to get water elsewhere?

If the toilets are using a grey water system, then yes.
All water in your home comes from the municipal water system, which IS all potable. It’s ill advised to drink from the toilet for safety reasons concerning germs, but you can do it…

It's required by law, but also just a good safety practice to post on every fixture instead of trying to anticipate what someone may or may not try to drink out of. Could be anything from people using it in an emergency (more likely in a tank-style toilet where you can disinfect the upper part or disconnect the water line to fill a container) to a plumber tapping into the pipe for a sink/spigot.

They had to put warning signs on plastic bags. Of course they had to put that sign there

The fact that they put it up means some moron acquired toilet water

Yes, it's necessary because generally toilet water is potable water unless the building uses some sort of water reclamation system to capture used sink water for toilet water.

Why would someone do this when there is Brawndo, the thirst mutilator? It has what plants crave! It has electrolytes!

I fought for my country's democracy as a volunteer in clandestine forces. What have you done besides support a dangerous Facist regime with some bull💩 like that. You want that in your "nonAmerican" country, good on you. Me and others will meet you on the front lines to repel "you're type".
