Each coating manufacturer's tank coating system technical data, application instructions, SDS, and certificate for compliance for VOC content must be submitted to the Contracting Officer. Application, curing time, mixing and thinning of the coating materials must be in strict accordance with the manufacturers instructions. The use of thinners must not alter the required minimum dry thickness or adversely affect the VOC content.

3.5.1 Bolted Tanks

The surfaces of both the interior and exterior of the tank must be coated in accordance with Section 12.3, Galvanized Coatings of AWWA D103. Color must be as approved. Coating damage during transportation and construction must be repaired per manufacturer's recommendations.

3.6 DISINFECTION

The reservoir and connecting lines thereto must be disinfected with chlorine before being placed in operation.

3.6.1 Tank

After coating system has been cured, inspected, and approved cured, rinse tank with potable water. After flushing, the reservoir must be disinfected

SECTION 33 16 15 Page 13 in accordance with AWWA C652. After the chlorination procedure is completed and before the storage facility is placed in service, the Contracting Officer will collect samples of water in properly sterilized containers for bacteriological testing from the full facility in accordance with Section 5 of AWWA C652. The tank will not be accepted until satisfactory bacteriological results have been obtained.
