Item No.: 03
Site: Potable Water-Production Halogen Residual

Recommendation: Continuously halogenate potable water to at least 2.0 mg/L (ppm) free residual halogen at the time of bunkering or production with an automatic halogenation device that is controlled by a flow meter and adjust the pH so it does not exceed 7.8. Ensure the amount of halogen injected during bunkering or production is controlled by a flow meter or a free halogen analyzer.
Item No.: 05

Do not stripe or paint potable water lines after reduced pressure assemblies as potable water.
