were sent to the Lab. All samples came back negative except the same Employee sink. That sink was thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. 2 follow up samples were sent. Employee sink failed
a 3rd time. So the Entire sink faucet was replaced. After Sink was replaced, a total of 6 samples sent 2 different days resulted in negative bacterial tests. We believe the contamination
was in the sink faucet. August samples will be sent to the lab soon and will include extra sampling locations.Matthew Chambers 9376818850
Flush household pipes/faucets first.
To flush your plumbing, run all your cold water faucets on full for at least 5 minutes each.
For a residence with multiple levels, start at the top of the house.
If your service connection is long or complex (like in an apartment building) consider flushing for a longer period. Your building superintendent or landlord should be able to advise
you on longer flushing times.
If the water is discolored, continue to run it from the tap until it is clear.
Ice and automatic ice makers:
Wash and sanitize ice trays.
For an icemaker, dump existing ice and flush the water feed lines by making and discarding at least three batches of ice cubes.
Wipe down the ice bin with a disinfectant.
Hot water heaters, water coolers, in line filters, and other appliances with a water connection or water tanks (such as kitchen appliances, humidifiers, swamp coolers):
Run enough water to completely replace at least one full volume of all lines and tanks.
Follow any other instructions from the appliance manufacturer.
Water softeners:
Run through a regeneration cycle.
Follow any other instructions from the appliance manufacturer.
Reverse Osmosis (RO) units: Replace pre-filters, check owner's manual.
Replace other water filters (fridge filters etc.), as they are disposable and may be contaminated. This applies especially to carbon filters and others that are near the end of their
life.
