Potable Water-Maintenance and Repair Records
|
Violation:
After repairs or maintenance of parts in the potable water system, the documented free halogen residual level was the system residual after the part had been placed back in service and not the residual from the part before placing in service. These parts were disinfected and flushed before being placed in service. Staff described that the procedure was to make sure the system halogen residual level was no higher than 5.00 ppm and to record that value. This procedure was used for 9 potable water system parts replacements or repairs during a brief June 2019 drydock in which crew were aboard and the potable water system was in operation. However, the halogen residual test result needs to be performed before returning the water system parts to operation after repair or replacement.
|
Recommendation:
Flush the disinfected parts of the system with potable water or otherwise dechlorinate until the free residual halogen is less than or equal to 5.00 mg/L (ppm). Document the free halogen test result.

Locate the advisory at the outlets where these types of food are served. Ensure that raw shell egg preparations are not used in uncooked products as described in section 7.3.3.2.3. Ensure that disclosure is made by one of the two following methods: (1) On a sign describing the animal-derived foods (e.g., ?oysters on the half-shell,? ?hamburgers,? ?steaks,? or ?eggs?); AND that they can be cooked to order or may be served raw or undercooked; AND a statement indicating that consuming raw or undercooked meats, seafood, shellfish, eggs, milk, poultry may increase your risk for foodborne illness, especially if you have certain medical conditions. Ensure the advisory is posted at the specific station where the food is served raw, undercooked, or cooked to order OR (2) On a menu using an asterisk at the animal-derived foods requiring disclosure and a footnote with a statement indicating that consuming raw or undercooked meats, seafood, shellfish, eggs, milk, or poultry may increase your risk for foodborne illness, especially if you have certain medical conditions.
