Recently added to the library - a tank climbing standard operating procedure provided by the Utility Service Group and a storage tank inspection checklist from the City of Loveland that was praised by CDPHE after their sanitary survey. These are in addition to the SOP component checklist for storage tank inspection and utility SOP examples that have been in the library. 

The Rural Community Assistance Partnership created a series of distribution system videos using the SOP Cooperative component checklists. The videos are based on the component checklists for hydrant operation and inspection, hydrant flushing, valve operation, field chlorine analysis and total coliform sampling. Component checklists are available in the SOP Library. Click here to see the videos.
