UTILITY CONNECTIONS COLOR CODES. To ensure safety, shore-to-
ship utility service connections use the standardized federal color codes as an
identification system on wharf and pierside connections and hose assemblies. The

emphasis should be applied to potable water, nonpotable water and the sewer system.
The color code system is defined in Chapter 6.
