17.  WATER HOSE:  Use only the hose spigot attached to the unit or the dock slip.  Dock water and hoses must be turned completely off.  If any leaks are found, please report it to the Manager immediately.  Do not turn on or off the water main valve for any other unit or slip.  If using the fish cleaning station, hose it down when finished and ensure the water is then turned off.
