Potable Water-Microbiological Records
|
|
Violation:
Locations for the monthly microbiological samples often repeated each month. For example: (1) Johnny Rockets dishwash was tested 13 January, 27 January, and 10 February; (2) one nurse's cabin handwash station was tested 13 January and 17 March; (3) another nurse's cabin handwash station was tested 3 February and 10 March; (4) the Environmental Officer's cabin handwash station was tested 27 January and 17 February. The section where these results were recorded was titled 'Water Taps and Water Fountains.' It was unclear if samples were obtained from different water sources.

Recommendation:
Collect and analyze a minimum of four potable water samples per month for the presence of E. coli. Collect samples from the forward, aft, upper, and lower decks of the vessel. Change the sample sites each month so that all of the potable water distribution system is effectively monitored. Conduct follow-up sampling for each positive test result.

Stripe or paint these lines at 5 meters (15 feet) intervals and on each side of partitions, decks, and bulkheads, except where decor would be marred by such markings, including potable water supply lines in technical lockers. Do not stripe or paint potable water lines after reduced pressure assemblies as potable water. Uniquely identify all refrigerant brine lines in all galleys, pantries, and cold rooms to prevent cross-connections.
