4900 Valley West Boulevard, Arcata, 95521 California, United States
The Carl's Jr. branch located on Valley West Boulevard in Arcata has been temporarily closed by the Humboldt County Department of Health and Human Services. The closure was necessitated by the absence of hot water in the facility, a critical requirement for food safety.In a more detailed report, the health department revealed that the fast-food restaurant's water heater had malfunctioned. Despite the issue, the establishment was instructed to continue operations by boiling water in a microwave. However, this method was insufficient as it only allowed the water to reach a maximum temperature of 53 degrees Fahrenheit, far below the required minimum of 120 degrees Fahrenheit. The lack of hot water was deemed an imminent health hazard, leading to the suspension of the restaurant's permit.
The Carl's Jr. branch will remain closed until the hot water heater is replaced. Once the necessary repairs are made, the facility can contact the Department of Health and Human Services to potentially resume operations.
