In compliance with the FAA directives for water sanitation due to time constraints we started to just replace the lav faucets with serviceable units from stock.  The manual requires a 24 hour soak in sanitizer and RON work this cannot be complied with so we sent them to the shop for this.  It was discovered that when in the shop this step was being left out because work was being done per MM and it lacks the sanitation step.  This was brought to quality control and shop management.  The answer was to send these out to a vendor who still follows the MM and they are still not getting the required sanitation step.
Maintenance Lead Inspector reported a step was being skipped during lavatory faucet sanitation procedures.
