VIOLATION: Chapter 403.861 (8) (15) (16), Florida Statutes•, <br />and Chapter 17-22.220, Florida Administrative Code. Field <br />testing of the potable water in the distribution system on <br />April 7, 1988, revealed that the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) <br />were over 1700 mg/l. The chloride level was 950 mg/1. The <br />maximum contaminant levels allowed for TDS and chlorides are <br />500 mg/1 and 250 mg/1, respectively. Our inspection on April <br />7, 1988, revealed that the 25 hp pressure pump that provides <br />service to the Reverse Osmosis Membranes was not working due <br />to repairs. Mechanical parts for the pump had to be ordered <br />from a firm in Colorado. A backup pump was not available on <br />site. Field tests conducted on April 29, 1988, revealed that <br />the TDS and chlorides were still above the maximum contami- <br />nant level (1170 mg/1 and 700 mg/1) after the pump was put <br />back into service. On April 7, 1988, it was observed that <br />two (2) of the five (5) reverse osmosis membranes were <br />leaking at the piping seals. On May 4, 1988, field tests <br />revealed that the treated water chlorides and TDS had not <br />changed. It is apparent that after the pump was put back <br />into service, the reverse osmosis membranes are not <br />adequately treating the water. <br />VIOLATION: Chapter 403.861 (8) (9), Florida Statutes, and <br />Chapter 17-22.620, Florida Administrative Code. On April 7, <br />1988, an inspection of the water treatment facilities <br />revealed the following violations: <br />1. The lid on the aeration storage tank is damaged and <br />not vermin proof. <br />2. The top fitting of the de -gasifier tower is leaking. <br />3. Reverse Osmosis pressure pump was not in service and <br />no spare or backup available. <br />4. Only one (1) high service pump was in operation. <br />Backup pump was out of service and down for repairs. <br />5. Only one (1) transfer pump was in operation. Backup <br />pump was out of service, down for repairs. <br />6. Inlet piping and valves for transfer pumps are <br />leaking; sealed with duct tape. <br />'7. Discharge piping and valves for transfer pumps are <br />leaking; sealed with duct tape. <br />8. Spare hypo pumps utilized for acid and base <br />titration which is an integral part in reverse osmosis <br />treatment are not provided. <br />9. The alarm system located at the ground storage tanks <br />•are not functioning. <br />10. Safety equipment such as a NIOSH approved gas mask <br />and ammonia gas indicator are not provided at the gas <br />chlorination facility. <br />11. Panel instrumentation located in the water plant ie; <br />PH meter, pressure sensors and TDS meter were not <br />functioning. <br />12.. A cross connection device is required on the hose <br />bib located in the water plant. <br />IV AY 1 0 1988 <br />46 <br />BOOK 72 FaGE 326 <br />
