Operating Records

MIL-HDBK-1164

all personnel concerned with the water system's O&M. Many records will be kept for a

long time and should be protected from damage. Some records, such as maps, will

require occasional updating. A computerized information management system can

effectively meet all of these criteria. File hard copies of all records according to military

procedures. Guidance on the water system records that are commonly maintained can

be found under subsequent headings in this section. There is no substitute for good

records.

3.5.1

Operating Records. Suggested records for the following unit processes

can be found in par. 2.1.5: activated carbon, aeration, chlorination, corrosion/scale

control, filtration, fluoridation, ion-exchange, iron and manganese control,

presedimentation, reverse osmosis, screening, sedimentation, water softening, and

water weed control.

3.5.2

Daily Logs. Enter each day's operating data in the daily operating log

and then in the monthly operating report (MOR) to provide a record of daily and

average monthly operations. The data recorded cover all aspects of operations

including a diary of routine operational duties, unusual conditions (operational and

maintenance), accidents, complaints, and visitors.

3.5.3

MORs. Each installation's water treatment facility prepares a monthly

report compiled from daily operation data reports. Monthly reports permit technical

review of current performance and comparison of performance over a long period.

Accumulated monthly reports show variations caused by changes of seasons, methods

of operation, and installation population.

These forms are used for preparing the MOR:

a)

AF Form 1461, Water Utility Operating Log

b)

NAVFAC Form 11340/2, Potable Water Treatment Plant Operating

Record

c)

DA Form 4141, Water General

The following forms are used with those mentioned above at installations

that have treatment in addition to disinfection, fluoridation, or treatment for scale and

corrosion control.
