Incident Narrative

ON 8/01/18 AN INTERMITTENT LEAK WAS NOTICED AT THE PACKING ON THE CHECK VALVE SWING ARM AT THE RAPTOR LATERAL CONNECTION WITHIN THE RIVER HAWK PUMP STATION. SINCE THE STATION WOULD HAVE TO BE TAKEN DOWN IN ORDER TO REPLACE THE CHECK VALVE THE PRESSURES WERE MONITORED TO MINIMIZE THE INTERMITTENT LEAK UNTIL THE REPLACEMENT CHECK VALVE WAS RECEIVED. ON 8/07/18 THE RIVER HAWK PUMP STATION WAS TAKEN DOWN AND THE CHECK VALVE WAS REPLACED. MITIGATIVE ACTION: AFTER A REVIEW OF OPERATIONS IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE SWING ARM ON THE CHECK VALVE WAS UNNECESSARY AT THIS LOCATION AND A STANDARD CHECK VALVE WAS INSTALLED.
