Is it possible the drawing for a fountain eyewashes became misinterpreted for drinking water fountains? Could your builder replace them eyewashes?

We are in the process of building a new Lab and it is almost ready for occupation.
 
The Lab designer has put two drinking fountains in the Lab. I believe this is not allowed per OSHA’s Laboratory Standards, however, the discussion is that “there is minimum chance of chemical contamination” with these drinking fountains. I have requested the removal of these, but it would be costly at this point. I have two questions:
 
Are the drinking fountains allowed in the Lab area?
 
Is it OK to shut down the water source at this point and leave the fountains there?
 
I appreciate the expert opinions on this subject.
