Compliance

Shelby County's Environmental Health & Food Safety Program

In anticipation of reopening and in accordance with the outlined guidance from the Shelby County Health Department's Environmental Health & Safety Food Program, we are taking the following steps: 

• Flush pipes throughout the facility by running each faucet with cold water for five (5) minutes. 
• Flush, clean, and sanitize appliances that use tap water such as beverage dispensers, spray misters, and coffee and tea urns. That includes ice machines, glass washers, and dishwashers, according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Run water softeners through a regeneration cycle. 
• Flush hot water tanks.
• Run drinking fountains continuously for five minutes to flush the system.
• Replace and sanitize water filter cartridges according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Take proper steps to flush ice machines by following the manufacturer’s instructions, including: 
  • Throw out any remaining ice.   
  • Flush the water line to the machine inlet.  
  • Close the valve on the water line behind the machine. 
  • Disconnect the water line from the machine inlet. 
  • Open the valve and run 5 gallons of water through the valve. 
  • Dispose of the water. 
  • Close the valve. 

We are also purchasing bottled water for food preparation and boiling our water to ensure compliance and the safety of our customers and staff.
