Utah Admin. Code R309-525-7 - Plant Reliability
Plants designed for processing surface water or ground water under direct influence of surface water shall be designed to meet present and future water demands and assure reliable operation at all times. To help assure proper, uninterrupted operation:
(1) A
manual override shall be provided for any automatic controls. Highly
sophisticated automation may put proper maintenance beyond the capability of
the plant operator, leading to equipment breakdowns or expensive servicing.
Adequate funding must be assured for maintenance of automatic
equipment.
(2) Main switch
electrical controls shall be located above grade, in areas not subject to
flooding.
(3) Plants shall be
operated by qualified personnel approved by the Director. As a minimum, the
treatment plant manager is required to be certified in accordance with R309-300
at the grade of the waterworks system with an appropriate unrestricted Utah
Operator's Certificate.
(4) The
plant shall be constructed to permit units to be taken out of service without
disrupting operation, and with drains or pumps sized to allow dewatering in a
reasonable period of time.
(5) The
plant shall have standby power available to permit operation of essential
functions during power outages,
(6)
The plant shall be provided with backup equipment or necessary spare parts for
all critical items.
(7) Individual
components critical to the operation of a treatment plant shall be provided
with anchorage to secure the components from loss due to an earthquake
event.
