of operations each day.
ii. Clean the filling area at constant intervals of 3 hours.
iii. Keep a record of the cleaning operation
2. Procedure For Cleaning The Production Area
i. Using a long broom, dust down all cobwebs, particles and debris on the walls,
windows and ceiling
ii. Now sweep the floor with the broom and pack the solid waste and debris into a
dustbin
iii. Clean the walls and windows with clean towel or long mopping foam dipped into

DOLAP TABLE WATER
Standard operating procedure for manufacture of packaged water to ensure strict adherence to good
manufacturing practice in all manufacturing operations on daily basis

Standard Operating Procedure 2

Procedure
i. Using the cleaning procedure(sop1), clean up the manufacturing area and its
environment
ii. Transfer water from the borehole into raw water tank
iii. Pass the water through the sand bed filter to remove particles and sediments
iv. Pass the water through the activated carbon filter to remove odour, colour, taste
and dissolved ions
v. Pass the water through the reverse osmosis to remove escaped particles,
sediments, odour, colour taste and dissolved ions
vi. Transfer the water into the production water tank.
For Sachet Line
i. From the production water tank,
ii. Pass the water through a series of micron filters (0.5micron all through)
to remove fine particulate matter and a carbon micron filer to remove
odour and taste
iii. The water is now passed through the ultra-violet sterilizer to eliminate
micro-organisms
iv. The packaging operation can now commence in the production hall as
follows:
a. Supply all the required in-put into and lay accordingly
b. Flush the line and allow water to run into the drain for 5minutes
c. Fill one sample to check appearance, odour, taste and seal
d. If satisfactory, the filling operation can now commence
e. Repeat step C every one hour and keep record accordingly
f. Pack the filled sachet into packing nylon and transfer into finished
goods store.
For Bottling Line
i. From the production water tank,
ii. Pass the water through a series of micron filters (0.5micron all through)
to remove fine particulate matter and a carbon micron filter to remove
odour and taste
iii. The water is now passed through the ultra-violet sterilizer to eliminate
micro-organism
a. The packaging operation can in the production hall as follows:
b. Supply all the required in-put into and lay accordingly
c. Flush the line and allow water to run into the drain for 5minutes
d. Fill one sample to check appearance, odour, taste and seal
e. If satisfactory, the filling operation can snow commence
f. Repeat step C every one hour and keep record accordingly
 g. Pack the filled bottles into appropriate and transfer into finished
goods store.
N.B: in case of any observed contamination, production must be stopped and the day’s
out-put held until cleared by the appropriate authority. All problems
relating to quality must be notified to the Public Analyst within 24
hours.

Standard Operating Procedure 3
Sop for cleaning all manufacturing equipment in the packaged water plant to ensure
that all manufacturing equipments and the entire production line are sufficiently
hygienic at all times
Procedure
A. Storage Tanks
1. Wash with detergent solution and rinse
2. Sanitize with chlorine, allowing a contact time of 2hours
3. Rinse until odour of chlorine disappears
4. Repeat sanitization process every week
B. Composite filters
1. Backwash everyday to get rid of retained contaminants
C. Micron filters
1. At the end of the day’s work, remove and soak in chlorine solution overnight
2. Rinse liberally with water on the following day before fixing on the line
3. Change micron filters at the stipulated period
D. U.V sterilizer
1. Once in 3months, strip down
2. Use a non-thread material to wipe off any adhering debris
3. Flush with clean water
E. Production line
1. Everyday, flush for about 10minutes before commencing production
2. Every week, sanitize with chlorine allowing a contact time of 2hours
3. Every three months, fill with algaecide solution and allow a contact of 4hours
F. Appliances
1. Check that all appliances and equipments are intact and in good condition
before work, at intervals and after the day’s work
G. Borehole
1. Check that boreholes are working properly by switching on each at intervals and
opening the valves to make sure water gushes out
2. Check that valves are directed to the desired positions
3. Check at intervals the availability of water in the raw water tanks to avoid
damage to the sub-massive pumps and waste of resources
H. Treatment tanks
1. Check that all tank’s lid are well placed and tightened
2. Check that the composite filter valves are placed on normal flow and not
backwash
3. Check for the availability of ENOUGH water in all of the tanks before proceeding
to switch on water pumps to avoid damage to pumps.
4. Check for the availability of ENOUGH water in tanks at intervals and if the pump
is working efficiently
