The wording on this policy is overly broad, and states things are illegal when they are not.

Regarding this: "If a member brings a service animal into the space, persons may only ask the owner the following 2 questions (defined by federal law) about the animal and its service to the owner:

  • Is the animal required because of a disability?
  • What work or task has the animal been trained to perform?

Questions outside of these two are a breach of federal and state law and will be considered a violation of the Pumping Station: One membership agreement."


The way this is worded, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ANIMAL ARE SAID TO BE ILLEGAL. This is ONLY true if the questions are pertaining to whether the animal is, in fact, a service animal. The way this is worded, if a person said "I respect your amazing service dog. Is it a boy or a girl," or "what breed is your beautiful dog" would be considered grounds for removing a member, and called illegal. The wording should be clearer. --Davidfell (talk) 05:32, 27 April 2015 (CDT)
