For prevention of future occurrences, the hot water will be checked twice a week for the next month to ensure a consistent reading of 120° or below is maintained and monthly thereafter. Should at any time the water temperature read above 120°, staff will alert maintenance and they will reduce the temperature at the water heater and all individuals will be alerted as to the temperature as all 3 ladies in the home temper water independently. |
