Critical Inadequate Treatment
During the inspection it was observed that the two UV disinfection units were alarming and not functioning. The two solenoid valves were also not functioning. This results in inadequate treatment of the drinking water supply as two forms of disinfection are required to meet the Ministry of Health's Surface Water Treatment Objectives. A verbal Boil Water Notice was issued at the time of inspection, effective immediately.
Corrective Actions: UV Disinfection units to be repaired as per manufacturer's instructions and solenoid valves must also be functional. Boil Water Notice to be lifted only in co-ordination with Environmental Health Officer. A process must be put in place to ensure the UV disinfection system is adequately monitored to identify any issues in a timely manner.
