SEPTIC TANK SERVICE

Chlorine gas pumps like the
one servicing Panorama Leisure
Centre’s pool are considered so
foolproof they are sometimes
taken for granted, according to
Capital Regional District health
inspector Les Potter.

But in a CRD senior manage-
ment report, directors stated
support for PLC staff and ap-
proved new emergency pro-
cedures for use in the event of a
chlorine gas leak, said Potter.

A gas surge in the deep end of

critical. condition. She . was
released three days later and is
fine now, according to her
mother .

The leak occurred when ser-
vice workers shut off the main
pool pump to repair a valve.
However, the chlorine pump
failed to shut down, causing gas
to build up in the line which
surged into the pool water when
the main pump was turned back
on.

Since then, Panorama staff
have implemented structured
emergency procedures — some
of which are staff-oriented, said
Potter.

For example, the staff must
now regularly check the
chlorine gas room because the
gas is quite visible: Poiter also

said they have developed a step- .

by-step process to deal with a
similar crisis should it occur.

Gordon Johnson, supervisor —

included a transcript of the call
made by. PLC in his report to

-. CRD. In his recommendations, .

Johnson said in: future, staff

should ‘‘keep. calm and. speak.

clearly .when answering the
dispatcher’s questions.”’

Immediately after the. acci-
dent, an anti-syphon valve was
installed to ensure the. chlorine
pump automatically shuts off.

‘‘We are satisfied everything
is. operational and safe — it
should not occur again,’’ said
Potter.

Sarah Stoffelsma’s parents in
a letter to CRD asked ‘‘why,
three weeks later, we have not
been informed as to the exact
cause of the accident.”’

Their letter was referred to
the Peninsula Recreation Com-
mission chairman.

Asked if they are considering
any: legal steps, Susan Stof-
felsma said ‘‘] am not about to
say anything more.”’

The CRD senior management
report will be passed onto the
ministry of health for possible
adoption.

Potter said, noting reported
leaks in Fraser Valley, Langford
and North Saanich facilities.
‘‘Under the ministry’s present
regulations, Panorama was not
required to implement these
policies but. it is obvious that

everyone will benefit from the
changes,’” he said.

‘*Perhaps we all took it (the
pump’s~ functioning) for
granted and it takes something
like this to bring us back on
track.’’
