Potable Water-Potable Water Tank Disinfection
|
Violation:
There were good records on what was done in the tank cleaning and disinfection, as well as the touch-up painting that followed, but staff explained that after the wet chlorine solution is applied to the tank walls and ceiling that they leave the tank and fill completely. The inspector questioned if any return was made to verify the tank walls were still wet or if the chlorine value was still present after the two hour contact time. Staff answered that they did not enter any tank again after spray chlorinating the walls and ceilings. Five potable water tanks were cleaned and disinfected since the last inspection (August 2015 thru January 2016).
|
Recommendation:
Maintain documentation of all inspections, maintenance, cleaning, and disinfection for 12 months and ensure it is available for review during inspections. Ensure records include a method of disinfection, concentration and contact time of the disinfectant, and a halogen value of less than or equal to 5 ppm before the tank is put back into service.

This was written on the previous three VSP inspections. Staff stated the appropriate changes will be made during the dry-dock beginning on February 21st.
