What appears to be a common characteristic in all of these recent incidents is that the hydrant pit couplers and valves did …

JIG Bulletin 105 was published in December 2017 and it contained a range of actions which users of SAP-based Filter Monitor Systems are required to implement until filter monitors are completely phased out. Data from JIG inspections since 2017 has shown some gaps in the implementation of Bulletin 105.

In order to reiterate the importance of conforming to Bulletin 105, JIG announced the following initiatives to support operators in ensuring that Bulletin 105 …
