one-time inspection for discrepancies of the potable water and drain lines in the cargo compartments and, if necessary, the accomplishment of corrective action.
             This new Directive requires that the inspection be repetitively performed using new service information, until terminating action is accomplished.  The Directive also removes certain aeroplanes from the applicability.  The Directive results from a report from the FAA of a fire in the aft cargo compartment started by a potable water line heater tape and is issued to prevent overheating of the heater tape on potable water fill and drain lines, which could ignite accumulated debris or contaminants on or near the potable water fill and drain lines, resulting in a fire in the aeroplane.
