25 | On 03/27/2023, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Y.Yang made a case management inspection visit and met with the facility's licensee Minda Kastan Robin. The inspection was made in response to water lead testing results received from the California State Water Resource Control Board. The test results showed that the following faucet tested above the allowable level (5.5 ppb) of lead in the water: Sample Site, "B" (a drinking fountain located inside the children's bathroom), had a reading of 12ppb. All other sources of water that were tested had a reading below the allowable level of 5.5 ppb.
The facility removed the drinking fountain from service by turning off the water supply. The Licensee notified all staff members regarding the fountain and instructed staff to not use the fountain or turn on the water supply. Children in care are receiving drinking water from individual tumblers from home and from other drinking water sources located at the center. The Licensee stated that she plans to permanently remove the water fountain and cap the water supply.
The Licensee submitted the Child Care Center Sampling Checklist Form (LIC 9276) and Facility Sketch/Floor Plan (LIC 999) to LPA. The Licensee stated that she will submit the External Water Sampling Self-Certification Form (LIC 9275) to the LPA at a later date.
The following deficiency is being cited (see LIC 809D). Appeal Rights were provided. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100.
Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with the facility's Licensee, Minda Kastan Robben. |
