Potable Water-Cross-connection Control Program
|
|
Violation:
The written cross-connection list did not match the electronic cross-connection list in the AMOS System in the engineering department. It was difficult to determine where all the backflow prevention devices were and if the testable devices had been tested within one year. A backflow prevention method or device was not listed for all cross-connections. Also, the test results of the reduced pressure assemblies for the international shore connections were not recorded.
|
|
Recommendation:
Ensure the cross-connection control program includes at a minimum: a complete listing of cross-connections and the backflow prevention method or device for each, so there is a match to the plumbing system component and location. Include air gaps on the listing. Ensure a schedule for inspection frequency is set. Maintain a log documenting the inspection and maintenance in written or electronic form, and ensure it is available for review during inspections. Inspect and test backflow prevention devices requiring testing with a test kit after installation and at least annually. Maintain the test results showing the pressure differences on both sides of the valves for each device.
