Comments

Closure order issued with the New Westminster Police. Operator refused to sign the Order. It was taped to the front door for public view. Facility has a failing sewage draining system. Sewage water is backing up and out of the floor drains when the front hand sink is used. Operator keeps a water vacuum on site to clean up the backed up water. He also mentioned that this has been happening frequently. He was seen directly putting the hose of the vacuum over the drains to suck out the water to clear the pipes. He proceeded to tell the inspector that the drain was now "working". This is only a temporary solution as the pipes will fill up again and back up after a few uses of the hand sink. He did not answer when asked where he was dumping the water from the vacuum. The facility had a bad odor when the drains were backing up. The operator mentioned how he opens up the doors to ventilate the area when it happens. This is a severe health hazard. Immediate closure is in effect. Contact the health inspector when the plumbing has been fixed and you are ready to open. Facility to remain closed until further notice.
