The plant inspection team consisted of the ORC, Johnny Britt and plant operator Dennis Freeman. The inspection
went very well until it appeared there was not any disinfection occurring in the effluent. It appeared the
pump was not pumping because no chlorine residual could be detected. The backup pump system was brought on
line and it did not work either. THE DISINFECTION IS A PART OF THE TREATMENT SYSTEM THAT IS REQUIRED TO
OPERATE AT ALL TIMES IN ORDER TO PROTECT THE RECEIVING STREAM.
