Routine Inspection
22. Hot and Cold Water Available

Conditions Observed: Hot water at the 3-compartment warewash sink was measured at a maximum of 107.9° F. This was corrected on site; the PIC was able to contact a plumber and have the on-demand hot water heater settings adjusted to bring the water temperature above 120° F. Thank you for your prompt attention to correcting this violation.

ROACHY SAYS:

“An adequate, protected, pressurized, approved potable supply of hot and cold water shall be provided at all times. Hot water shall be supplied at a minimum temperature of 120F when measured from the faucet. The temperature of water provided to handwashing facilities shall be at least 100F. Handwashing facilities equipped with non-adjustable faucets shall have their temperature set between 100F and 108F. Hot water shall be provided at the food preparation sink and janitorial sink.
