Remind them the truck will want to stay in the upper parking lot and the driver should bring about 150' of delivery hose for the Sodium hypochlorite.
On delivery day:
- Delivery is usually early in the morning.
- Verify the pipe run from the corner of the bathroom structure to the chlorine tank is sound and in tact and the drain valve is closed.
- Make sure there is space in the Chemical Room for the drums and carboys to be delivered.
- Remove the tennis ball plug from the Chlorine delivery piping.
- Install the delivery hose adapter support plate below our delivery inlet. (This is in the storeroom under the bathrooms.)
- The driver will usually run the drums and carboys down to the Chemical Room on a hand truck.
- The driver will connect and check the delivery hose before starting the delivery pumping process.
- Once finished the driver will want to rinse his delivery hose of the Sodium hypochlorite. It is OK to allow the rinse water to go into our tank.
- Once the delivery hose is disconnected, remove the adapter support plate and return it to storage.
- Place a piece of tape at the height of the delivered fluid in the storage tank.
- Make sure the tank cap is loosely in place to control vapors.
- Sign the Bill of Lading and forward it to the Treasurer.
