Code   Description / Observation / Corrective Action
320   Other (specify below)
Observation: Zobnick Road Reservoir lids are manhole covers that may not be adequate to prevent rainwater entering the reservoir.
Corrective Action: Lids need to be sealed to ensure water entry cannot occur.
320   Other (specify below)
Observation: The emergency response plan (ERP) requires updates: 1. Currently, the ERP does not include chemical contamination of the water supply (such as by a spill or by a backflow event) in the emergency situations section. 2. The sign off sheet needs to be re-written to show who has read the ERP, not who has amended it.
Corrective Action: To be completed: 1. Write procedures for responding to chemical contamination of the water supply. A “Do Not Use Notice” template should be added to the appendix. 2. Update sign-off sheet as required.
