Abstract |
The handbook is concerned with the protection of the water during the course of delivery from an approved source to the filling connections of the vessel's potable-water storage tank. The principles of sanitation set forth herein are intended to serve as guides for those who are charged with the design, construction, or operation of facilities on wharves and piers for loading potable water on vessels, and for the personnel of the Public Health Service and any State and local agencies concerned with the supervision of vessel watering points. |
