Overview

Vw Family Dollar 1131 is a vended water facility in Silver Springs, Marion County, with eight inspections on record dating back to March 2024 and zero total violations. The facility experienced a compliance issue in January 2025 when an inspector found the employee handwashing sink incapable of producing hot water at the required minimum temperature of 100°F and a probe thermometer was not available. This was identified as a repeat violation of handwashing sink hot water requirements. The facility was issued a 30-day extension to provide compliant hot water, with notice that failure to comply within that period could result in administrative action. Subsequent focused inspections in February, March, and August 2025, and most recently in February 2026, found zero violations and documented compliance verification through lab results provided by the establishment.
