No AC for 12 days, repair people say it will take 10 more days to fix

I am being told by people in the company that they are totally within the law and there is no potential legal or lawsuit liability or anything.

So the two of us have been working 12 hours shifts, and we're not allowed to leave to get food or water, and the company isn't paying for drinking water. The other employee had to take a day off from work because they had heat exhaustion. My gf has noticed that I seem confused and dizzy and that I seem to have heat exhaustion when I get home, and I've almost fainted or thrown up at work. Is this really legal? Is this a thing?
