Upon today's follow-up inspection, the toilet did not flush for the Licensing Specialist. When the Provider was asked to demonstrate that the toilet is in working order, she turned on the water and then attempted to flush the toilet. The water in the toilet bowl almost overflowed. The water is also blue with chemicals, which would be harmful if it is accidentally ingested by a child. The Provider attempted to get the water to go down by pumping the toilet bowl brush down the toilet. This was to no avail. This LS then spoke to the Provider's son who installed the new toilet and previously sent a video of it working properly. He states that due to the excessive rain and snow that has occurred lately, the leach fields are saturated. Additionally, this toilet is on the same level as the drain fields, so it isn't draining. The bathrooms upstairs will drain due to the height difference. The Provider states that she will call tomorrow to have the holding tank pumped out and let this LS know so that another follow-up inspection may be made to ensure the toilet is working properly. When the LS is able to view the toilet working properly, the non-compliance will then be corrected.
