Waste water not properly disposed of in an approved waste water treatment system
CRITICAL
RECOMMENDED RESOLUTION: All waste water must be disposed of in a waste water treatment system approved to treat waste water from a commercial food service establishment -- Non-water carried waste water disposal is prohibited except as specifically permitted for temporary events
OBSERVATIONS & CORRECTIVE ACTIONS: Under the bar service area there is a large hole to which the waste water from both three-compartment sinks, the ice bins, the dump sinks and the ice machine all drain. The pipe leading to what is presumed to be the sanitary sewer is severed and rotten, and most of the water goes directly into the ground, not captured by the sewer line. This is not an approved method of waste water disposal and is also a violation of the City-County Health Code.
The ice machine drain line does drain properly. The line leaks, creating standing water in the facility, and due to the improper plumbing of the line, the condensate can be trapped in it, creating the possibility of backflow and mold growth. The leaks must be fixed and the machine plumbed to code.
There are signs of sewage backup behind the hatch at the rear of the walk-in cooler. Sewage and debris are visible. There is toilet paper hanging from the hub drain in the pit. Not only is this a waste water violation and a violation of plumbing code, this is a high health risk.
All of the above violations must be corrected. All wastewater must be disposed of in an approved manner. There cannot be standing water or sewage backup in the facility. Sewage poses a risk to public health.
See Tony Sauro from City Building in regards to all plumbing issues and compliance with the plumbing code.
