Water Risk Assessment
Hi, water risk assessment help needed..... I am a washed potato, peeling potatoes and veg prep operation and I need a water risk assessment. Is there anybody out there that could help. Thx
processing water? or generally speaking incoming water?
Hi
Both!
Washing, Recycle, Hand Wash, Mains, Cleaning, Storage Tank
Assuming you have a municipal water supply, twice per year, sample the water at the main coming into the facility and 2-3 random test spots within the facility rotating through all handsinks and water feed for your process
As for processing water--you'll want to test it monthly to demonstrate that recirculated water has not become a source of contamination (assuming you treat the processing water to keep pathogens and general filth from proliferating)
Storage tank? You have a tank full of water waiting to be used?
That is correct but how do I put this into a risk assessment
Storage of water can be tricky business

How long do you store it
How often is the storage tank cleaned
is there backflow preventers on it
is that water treated before use
what is the microbial activity of that water as compared to the water that is not stored
answer all those questions, and they should determine the level of risk
Hi, astro;
Attached is an RA I use. I completed it for municipal supply, non-storage. This would change for storage, or well water.

To satisfy whom ? Comply with what ?
We have completed a risk assessment very similar to what "Slab" provided. We use water for cleaning incoming raw material, in process and for cleaning. All water comes from the city. We will ask each year for a city water analysis, we also conduct a full water test at the plant each year and then we conduct monthly water tests in three locations for total coliforms and e-coli. Never an issue with any inspections.
