One month ago, the Eureka Burger King was shut down by the local Public Health Division, seeing as how their toilets kept backing up into the restaurant.
That problem was temporarily fixed, and the drive-thru was allowed to reopen.
Today, the hammer falls.
In a letter dated today, Benjamin Dolf, the county’s supervising environmental health specialist, makes liberal use of capital letters and italics when he informs Eureka Restaurant LLC, the company that runs the BK, that their permit to operate is again rescinded, effective immediately.
”Liquid wastes shall be disposed of through the APPROVED PLUMBING SYSTEM and shall discharge into the public sewerage or into an APPROVED private sewage disposal system,” Dolf writes, citing state health codes.
What brought this about today? Why now? According to Dolf’s letter — which you can find here — this week the city of Eureka went and inspected the BK’s sewer lateral and determined that it is just not up to the task of ferrying sewage between the restaurant and the public “sewerage” (which is a fun word).
Therefore, Burger King is again shuttered and it’s gonna be a big job to get it open again. Your Impossible Whopper just got more impossible still.
