Selected Item Details
Item No.: 08
Site: Other-Deck 4 Chemical Locker
Violation: It could not be determined a backflow prevention device was installed on the chemical dispenser.
Recommendation:The vessel shall provide a comprehensive cross- connection control program that provides safe connections to the potable water system through air gaps or appropriate backflow devices at any connection between potable and non-potable water systems.
Site: Potable Water-Cross-connection Control Program
Violation: The cross-connection control program did not include the chemical dispensers, the spa showers or the air gaps. This was corrected.
Recommendation:Ensure that the cross-connection control program includes at minimum: a complete listing of cross-connections and the backflow prevention method/device for each, so that there is a match to the plumbing system component and location, and an inspection frequency. Ensure that air-gaps are included in the listing.
