Cross connection present or not corrected (corrected on site)

Inspector notes: Observed at mop sink by back door a not-in-use chemical dispenser that is directly connected to a faucet with an AVB. Please have a separate water line installed upstream from the AVB for the chemical dispenser in order to allow the AVB to operate without being under constant pressure. The faucet with the AVB should be able to be used independently of the chemical dispenser. This will prevent chemicals from being back syphoned into the clean water supply. PIC disconnected at the time of inspection
