The Glasgow WTP improvements have been constructed to include a standard one-year guarantee period. During this one-year period, the contractor has the responsibility to repair, correct, or replace any equipment or material that fails to perform in accordance with the terms and provisions of the contract. Personnel should be cautioned that alteration of supplied equipment without the knowledge and consent of the contractor and manufacturer may result in refusal of these parties to accept responsibility for any subsequent problems. Equipment which is not regularly in service during the guarantee period must be maintained and should be operated periodically to prevent problems whichmight arise due to the equipment not being operated. The fact that a guarantee is in effect should not be cause to allow improper maintenance or operation of equipment and thus reduce its useful life.
Equipment warranties may be found in the specific equipment Operation and Maintenance Manuals from the equipment manufacturers. These manuals may be found in the Plant Superintendent’s office.
