General Comments

Facility has recently had issues with high temperature dish machine, has ordered a gas valve but are unsure of when this part will arrive and when repair will take place. Facility has been temporarily approved by MCHD to take dirty dishes to nearby school (Southwest MS) to wash/rinse/sanitize dishes and return clean dishes to Rivergate Elementary. EHS spoke with PIC about process, confirmed that facility has been using CMS truck to transport dirty dishes for cleaning. Facility will use temporarily wash/rinse/sanitize plan for the next 5 days of service, schools will be closing June 8th for the summer. Facility is still looking into potentially getting low temp detergent, but will continue communication with MCHD and CMS Karen Sullivan if there are any changes to approved process for cleaning dishes while machine is down.
