Official wording
Hot and cold water available
Inspector’s notes
Measured hot water at the 3-compartment sink to be 64F. Per employees, the pilot light went out last night. The pilot light was turned back on. After waiting for over 45 minutes, hot water measured at 97 - 100F, but started to decrease and fluctuate between 95-98F. [CA] Provide hot water (120F) at the 3-compartment sink. [SA] Since temperature was rising after pilot light was turned back on, and a sink with 100F was adjacent to the 3-compartment sink, facility may continue to operate. Owner agreed only to use disposable plastic cups for drinks until water is repaired. If water temperature reaches 110F, then facility may resume using glass cups and wash dishes in the 3-compartment sink. See notes below. Note: the water pressure at the 3-compartment sink was weak; employee stated they plan to replace the faucet to try to increase water pressure / temperature.
In plain English
The business had issues with hot or cold running water, plumbing, drains, backflow prevention, or sewage disposal. Some of these, like no hot water, can force a temporary closure until fixed.
