Recreational Water Facilities-Records
|
|
Violation:
The records for the cleaning and disinfection of the sand filter housing was not consistent, in that staff did not note the work was completed according to the procedure in the job order, or there was some history notation of only part of the job, such as brushing followed by disinfection at 50 ppm chlorine, with no wash/rinse step and no chlorine contact time.
|
|
Recommendation:
Clean, rinse, and disinfect the filter housing before the new filter media is placed in it. Ensure disinfection is accomplished with an appropriate halogen-based disinfectant. At a minimum, use a 50-ppm solution for 1 minute, or equivalent CT value. Maintain records on all inspection and cleaning procedures. Include all steps in the cleaning and disinfection as part of the records and ensure contact times are provided for disinfectant concentrations.

Potable Water-Records
|
|
Violation:
The list of tested reduced pressure (RP) assembly backflow prevention devices along with many other types of preventers and air-gaps had future dates under the column inspection date or T date, such as 30 May, 2013, 3 September 2013, 11 October 2013, and 20 November 2013. Some of these data filled forms had the words, 'due to' handwritten into the form just below these dates, while others had no writing. In reviewing the pressure differential test results for the RP backflow preventers from the 2011 list, there were 49 RP's tested and the pressure values noted on test 1 and test 3 for every single one was an identical number to the same preventer test results for the 30 May 2013 testing. In comparison, the 2010 list of RP backflow preventers had mostly different values recorded for the same preventers under both the test 1 and test 3 than what was provided on the 2011 RP test log. Clearly the 2011 test data was simply copied over into the log form for RP backflow preventers dated 30 May 2013.

Recommendation:
Ensure the supervisor or person in charge of potable water operations on the vessel demonstrates to VSP?during inspections and on request-knowledge of potable water operations, is able to demonstrate this knowledge by compliance with Section 5 of the VSP 2011 Operations Manual or by responding correctly to the inspector?s questions as they relate to the specific operation, and properly trains employees to comply with Section 5 of the VSP 2011 Operations Manual as it relates to their assigned duties.
