  • Clean & sanitize the table mounted can opener.
  • Make repairs to eliminate the leak from the sprayer hose of the 3-bay sink. Sprayer hose must be repaired so it does not extend below the rim of the sink. Department recommends installing a new faucet which has a sprayer hose and spout.

  • Replace missing wall tiles by mop sink.
  • Replace missing ceiling tiles in kitchen.
