Maintenance Inspections
11.3.1
Types of Inspection and Repair. Water supply system personnel are
concerned with three categories of inspection and, to some degree, with overhaul and
repair.
11.3.1.1
Operator's Inspection. Regular inspection of equipment is part of an
operator's routine duties to ensure proper functioning of the system. Such inspection
includes lubrication, minor adjustments, and renewal of parts that do not require major
overhaul or repairs. The operator's inspection also entails detecting and reporting (to
the proper authority) any abnormal conditions (appearance, leaks, unusual noises,
etc.).
11.3.1.2
Preventive Maintenance Inspection. Cleaning, lubricating, adjusting, and
renewing parts that do not require major overhaul and repairs, plus detecting and
reporting (to the proper authority) any abnormal conditions (appearance, leaks, unusual
noises, etc.) also comprise preventive maintenance inspection. Such inspections may
be conducted by personnel who have been assigned specific areas of inspection
responsibility or by personnel operating a particular piece of equipment or system.
11.3.1.3
Control Inspection. Scheduled examinations or tests of public works and
public utilities are made to determine their physical conditions. These examinations
are termed control inspections and are performed jointly by engineering and operating
personnel. Control inspection includes electrical, mechanical, and structural
inspection.
