   • F2.6 Are the premises designed and equipped to ensure safe food handling?
     • Observation(s): Follow-up inspection confirms a backflow preventer has not yet been installed on the new faucet installed at the mop sink. Should the attached hose sit in the mop sink without a correct air gap (or installation of a backflow prevention device), this is considered a cross-connection. If there's a sewer backup into the mop sink and negative pressure at the tap (water system), this allows contaminated sewer water to siphon into the indoor water lines and water distribution system, thereby contaminating potable drinking water. EHO advised the Assistant Manager, who removed the hose from the mop sink to provide a temporary air gap. *Retain a qualified professional to install an anti-siphon vacuum breaker threaded onto the faucet, or install a faucet that has a "bell" vacuum breaker as part of the design. EHO advised the Assistant Manager to promptly contact the Area Supervisor for correction.
