No hot or cold water at a sink
The department's words
K21 Hot and cold water available
Measured hot water at the 3-compartment sink to be 64F. Per employees, the pilot light went out last night. The pilot light was turned back on. After waiting for over 45 minutes, hot water measured at 97 - 100F, but started to decrease and fluctuate between 95-98F. [CA] Provide hot water (120F) at the 3-compartment sink. [SA] Since temperature was rising after pilot light was turned back on, and a sink with 100F was adjacent to the 3-compartment sink, facility may continue to operate. Owner agreed only to use disposable plastic cups for drinks until water is repaired. If water temperature reaches 110F, then facility may resume using glass cups and wash dishes in the 3-compartment sink. See notes below. Note: the water pressure at the 3-compartment sink was weak; employee stated they plan to replace the faucet to try to increase water pressure / temperature.

Most people don't know what a normal result looks like for a place that's open every day. The ranges use each place's last routine inspection in this area. No other county is mixed in.
100 means the inspector found no problems. Santa Clara County takes points off for each problem. Big ones take off more.
The county posts a green, yellow or red placard after each inspection, and gives routine inspections a score. In the county's data, a routine inspection with no violations listed scored 100, and the score drops as violations are found. The county's page does not say which scores or findings give each color: ask the department.
