Potable Water-Cross-Connection Control Program
|
|
Violation:
The list of backflow prevention devices was updated in May 2016. Entries for air gaps stated the location and plumbing component, but it was confusing of the exact plumbing component where the air gaps could be found in the food areas. For example: the list stated 'Location = Main Galley (deck 5, fire zone 3), Plumbing Component = Galley;' also 'Location = Crooner's Bar, Plumbing Component = Pantry.' Staff explained these air gaps were for the handwash station faucet taps.
|
|
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.Air gaps on faucet taps do not need to be included on the cross-connection control program list. If the ship chooses to keep these on the list, update the list to specify where the air gaps are located. Or delete from the list.
