Onsite advisory. Advisory conducted with Alan B., plumbers for district, and Badge #217. Report emailed to and inspection rights reviewed with Alan B. Advisory meeting was conducted to review general comments for plumbing noted on routine inspection conducted on 2/8/2022. Currently: a double check valve (ASSE 1015) is installed with copper downstream from backflow assembly. Downstream from backflow assembly is copper lines leading to 3 manifolded water lines (one water line non-filtered to top combi oven, one water line non-filtered to bottom combi oven, and one water line to feed RO system). An RPZ (ASSE 1013) is required for combi ovens or RO systems. Any plumbing (lines or fittings) downstream from backflow device must be pex, stainless, or plastic if feeding an RO system. Reviewed multiple options with operators onsite to provide correction including: 1. Double check valves are not approved for combi ovens or RO systems. An RPZ will be required. 2. Establishment could remove RO system and replace with non-RO filter assembly. Establishment will need to provide an RPZ and certify. No other piping will need to be changed (due to RO system being removed). 3. Establishment could replace copper manifold piping/fittings with pex/stainless piping. Establishment will need to provide an RPZ and certify. 4. Additional options may be explored for correction as provided by school/district. Reviewed timeline for work to be completed. Provide finalized timeline for corrections and decision on which option establishment will be implementing. No County legal will result from this inspection.
