ACTUAL INSPECTIONS WERE DOCUMENTED WITH DATES IN THE COMPUTER.
Recommendation:5.7.1.1.4 A cross-connection control program shall include at a minimum: a complete listing of cross-connections and the backflow prevention method/device for each, so there is a match to the plumbing system component and location, the program shall set a schedule for inspection frequency. Repeat devices such as toilets can be grouped under a single device type, and air-gaps shall be included in the listing. A log documenting the inspection or maintenance in written or electronic form shall be maintained and be available for review during inspections.
