Can restaurants be open during a DO NOT DRINK order? YES!! They use alternative water sources such as bottles, eliminate giving every customer a glass of water unless requested, and use bottled water for that. Can they charge for bottled water? Yes, if they bought it, that's appropriate. Use 2 Liters of soda rather than fountain machines; buy bagged ice; use paper plates, cups, and plastic utensils. We are partners in food safety and public health to all of our facilities. If facilities have questions, please call 217-348-0530 x235 or 230 for guidance.
