I think they should be required to.

I believe they are. one of those quantitative saftey measures I believe

YES! It must be available for free too.

No. Labor law says it's still legal for you to be forced to drink your own urine.

Yes.

If not, they should! Excellent question. I don't think it should stop there either. I was at Disneyland last weekend and it was 104 degrees! They charge almost $3 for a bottle of water, and there are a limited amount of drinking fountains around - the water isn't very cold in those. We dropped so much money on water. I think they have a responsibility to provide ice water to people that have paid so much to get in - who wants a bunch of customers with heat stroke?!? - thanks for letting me rant.
