Item No.: 06
Site: Potable Water-Distant Point
Violation: The halogen residual levels measured by staff and the inspector were 1.27 ppm, 1.31 ppm, 1.24 ppm, and 1.33 ppm. The halogen residual differential values from the analyzer to the photometers measured by staff and the inspector were 0.40 ppm, 0.33 ppm, 0.46 ppm and 0.41 ppm respectively, for an average differential value of 0.4 ppm. Calibration began immediately.
Recommendation: Ensure the halogen test kit used to calibrate the halogen analyzer is accurate to within 0.2 mg/L (ppm) for halogen and graduated in increments no greater than 0.2 mg/L (ppm) in the range of free residual halogen normally maintained in the potable water system. Ensure all reagents used with the test kit are not past their expiration dates. Where available, maintain appropriate secondary standards onboard for electronic test kits to verify test kit operation.
Item No.: 08
Site: Potable Water-Bunker Station - Portside
Violation: The aft potable water bunkering hose end cap was not fastened to the keeper chain and was resting on the potable water manifold. Remediation began immediately.
Recommendation: Ensure the potable water filling line has a screw cap fastened by a noncorroding cable or chain to an adjacent bulkhead or surface in such a manner that the cap cannot touch the deck when hanging free. Ensure the hose connections are unique and fit only the potable water hoses.
Item No.: 08
Site: Potable Water-Evaporator Unit - Forward
Violation: The Reduced Pressure Zone Assembly (RPZ) for the forward evaporator unit was dripping water continuously. The cross-connection control log stated this assembly was tested prior to the inspection. The assembly was disinfected and replaced during the inspection.
Recommendation: Maintain backflow prevention devices in good repair.
Item No.: 08
Site: Potable Water-Engine Room - Mineralizer
Violation: The air gap for the mineralizer backwash drain line was not entered into the cross-connection control log. Remediation began immediately.
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-Swimming Pools
Violation: The shepherd's hook for all passenger-accessible (PA) pools was not located in a prominent location. This included PA1, PA2, PA3, and PA4. Additionally, the shepherd's hook for PA3 was resting on the pool deck next to the lifeguard's chair. Remediation began immediately.
Recommendation: Provide a rescue or shepherd's hook and an approved flotation device at a prominent location (visible from the full perimeter of the pool) at each RWF that has a depth of 1 meter (3 feet) or greater. Mount these devices in a manner that allows for easy access during an emergency. Ensure the pole of the rescue or shepherd's hook is long enough to reach the center of the deepest portion of the pool from the side plus 2 feet. Ensure it is a light, strong, nontelescoping material with rounded, nonsharp ends. Ensure the approved flotation device includes an attached rope that is at least 2/3 of the maximum pool width. Ensure the rescue or shepherd's hook is long enough to touch the bottom center of the deepest portion of the RWF plus 2 feet (0.6 meters) as measured from the closest edge without an obstruction. This edge can only be used for measurement if someone could freely walk down both sides without an obstruction such as a waterfall, fountain, statue, etc. For a rectangular pool, ensure the shorter distance is measured from the long side of the rectangle as long as there are no obstructions. Measure the 2 feet (0.6 meters) distance from where the shepherd's hook crosses the fill line of the RWF.
