English term or phrase: clean & dirty utilities

From the context of a newsletter:-

Each ward has a nurse’s station and offices, treatment rooms, staff changing rooms and rest rooms, a fully fitted kitchen, store rooms, a linen room, and ***clean and dirty utilities***.

Is anyone familiar with this term?

Thanks in advance.

I suppose you could use "Einrichtungen" instead of "Betriebsmittel".

Thanks for your help. My original query is still not totally resolved, but in the light of the reference to environments, I am assuming that it refers to the rooms where the clean & dirty utilities are cleaned. Thanks again for your assistance.
