Reference Question 6

Grey Water Piping, Clean & Flush – paragraph 3.5.2 states, “Determine the feasibility/need for the piping system to be split to minimize system down time.” And 3.5.3 states, “With the aid of ship’s force, split the plumbing drain system fore and aft by closing isolation valves in the drainage system. Work on only one section of the plumbing drain system at a time to allow use of toilet and shower facilities in the other section of the system by the ship’s duty section.” This implies that splitting the system and working on it in two phases is not optional. Will the government confirm whether this is required, optional or not necessary?

Response: Cutter crew is aware of the entire system being isolated/shutdown due to cleaning. Crew members have resources available on base to utilize during the duration of the cleaning. A CFR is required prior to system shutdown so crew can plan accordingly.
