Conveying Sewage
Inspector notes: Observed the drain underneath the main dish machine is not draining, and overflowing into a nearby drain. A technician was called out on the 18th and per the invoice the drain is not functioning properly. An employee was able to plunge the drain so the wastewater was not present in the establishment. A technician will be at the establishment tonight to service the drain. In the meantime the establishment set up the 3 compartment sink to use. In person reinspection for the drain will be tomorrow, Friday, July 26th. Please ensure the area is fully sanitized
