Potable Water-System Maintenance Disinfection Log
|
|
Violation:
There were three entries in the log that documented 50ppm disinfection start and end times of only three hours, but the documented work description indicated disinfection time was for four hours. All three entries were during the ship's dry dock in March 2023. On 20 March 2023, the 50ppm start disinfection time was '4:00' and the end time was '7:00' for pipe replacement on deck 1 forward fire zone 2. On 18 March 2023, the 50ppm start disinfection time was '4:30' and the end time was '7:30' for replacing water valves on deck 10 forward fire zone 1. On 15 March 2023, the 50ppm start disinfection time was '4:30' and the end time was '7:30' for a pipe replacement on deck 10 fire zone 1. The work descriptions for all three entries correctly described disinfecting with 50ppm for four hours. Staff explained the recorded times were clerical errors.

Recommendation:
Disinfect after potential contamination by increasing the free residual halogen to at least 50 mg/L (ppm) throughout the affected area and maintain this concentration for 4 hours or by way of another procedure submitted to and accepted by VSP.
