Comments

Closure order is lifted: Premise has approval to operate.
1. Under counter cooler is repaired - 4°C.
2. Hot water appears to be sufficient at this time.
- Dishwasher was run constantly for 1/2 hour and still lots of hot water available at sinks at time of inspection.
- Dishwasher technician noted two issues with dishwasher (d/w) taht could have caused excessive hot water use; a broken pressure release valve was constantly leaking hot water, and a faulty drain valve was also leaking hot water. These were repaired.
3. Foods in walk-in cooler were re-arranged so that raw meats were on low shelves.
