Item No.: 08
Site: Potable Water-Mineralizers
Violation: The air gap on the backwash line for the mineralizers to the gray water tank was not listed on the cross connection control log.
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.
Item No.: 10
Site: Recreational Water Facilities-Whirlpool Spa 2
Violation: The water temperature of whirlpool spa 2 was measured at 106F (41.1C). The facility was open during the inspection and was immediately closed.
Recommendation: Provide a temperature-control mechanism to prevent the temperature from exceeding 40C (104F) on whirlpool spas and spa pools.
Item No.: 10
Site: Recreational Water Facilities-T-Rex Pool Tunrover Rate
Violation: The only paper work with calculated turnover rates for all the recreational water facilities provided to the inspector showed a 2 hour turnover rate for the T-Rex children's pool and combined splash pools. Staff stated a new, bigger recirculation pump was installed in May 2016, but the new turnover rate had not been calculated and written down.
Recommendation: For RWFs with skim gutters, ensure that the fill level of the RWF is to the level of the skim gutters. Design recirculation systems and equipment, including chemical control equipment, UV disinfection systems, filter, and pumps to maintain adequate water chemistry control while operating at the following minimum turnover rates: (3) children's pool: 0.5 hours.

Recommendation: Maintain warewashing equipment in good repair and proper adjustment, including: (1) warewashing equipment is maintained in a state of repair and condition that meets the standards of the materials, design, and construction of these guidelines; (2) water pressure and water temperature-measuring devices are maintained in good repair and accurate within the intended range of use.

For example, (1) in Bamboo Galley there were two deckhead leaks, one to the deck and another one onto the preparation counter; (2) in Bamboo Galley there was excessive condensation collected in the canopy of the in-use combination oven #1 which dripped back to the top of the unit and the deck; (3) in Le Bistro Galley Dishwash, there was a deckhead leak over the clean landing of the hood-type warewasher; (4) in the Main Galley Garde Manger there was water leaking from the deckhead to the deck; (5) in Venetian Dishwash, heavy condensation was collected over the clean and soiled ends of the in-use conveyor dishwash machine; (6) in Room Service Pantry there was a deckhead leak at the entrance; (7) in Room Service Coffee Station water was leaking from the deckhead to the deck; (8) in the Crew Galley there were several leaks from the canopy above the three tilting kettles previously used for cooking lunch; (9) in the Crew Galley Potwash water was leaking from the deckhead in front of the clean racks; (10) in the Crew Galley Dishwash there was heavy dripping condensation over both in-use warewash machines.
