Conduct Emergency Repairs and/or Workarounds
It is important to reference information and photos from the damage assessment forms when beginning emergency repairs on key components and implementing temporary workarounds.

EPA's Emergency Repair Form can be used to document all emergency repairs that are conducted to repair service after disruption in order to request federal assistance grants.

Operators can use EPA's Response On-The-Go damage assessment form on their mobile device to take notes when assessing damage to a drinking water or wastewater facility.

Due to the structural damage at the wastewater treatment plant, utility operations staff develop a bypass plan for implementation during repairs to the plant. The bypass plan is coordinated through the utility Liaison Officer with the local public health agency and other key parties to ensure minimal risks to human health and the environment. The utility safety officer confirms that emergency personnel can enter the treatment plant and begin response and recovery operations.

Each repair crew documents the emergency work using the Our Town Utility's emergency repair form. The mutual aid coordinator works closely with repair crews from other utilities that responded under the mutual aid agreement to ensure they understand the work plan.
