Failure to Ensure Proper Backflow Prevention on Cross Connections

Frankenmuth, Michigan Survey Completed on 08-14-2025

Penalty

Summary

The facility failed to ensure proper backflow prevention on cross connections, as observed during an inspection. A hose with an attached spray nozzle was found connected to a water line downstream of an atmospheric vacuum breaker (AVB) in the kitchen near the dishwasher, which is not compliant with backflow prevention standards. Additionally, chemical feed dispensers supplied by utility sinks with AVBs, but lacking attached wasting tees, were observed in multiple janitor's closets. The Director of Maintenance was knowledgeable about the cross connection in the kitchen but was unfamiliar with the requirement for a wasting tee or bleeder device on the chemical feed dispensers. These deficiencies were identified through observation, interview, and record review.
