On 8/31/22, at 11:15 Am, Licensing Program, Analyst (LPA) Wisehart made a case management inspection and met with Site Manager, Gina Woods. 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 faucets tested above the allowable level (5.5 ppb) of lead in the water:

Faucet “A” – Sink Faucet (no fountain) Classroom #24, classroom not in use, 7.9 ppb
Faucet “C” – Sink Faucet (no fountain) Classroom #26, 6 ppb

The faucet is used for hand washing only and a sign has been placed near the sink notifying users that it’s not drinkable water. The licensee replaced the faucet, but the retest was still above allowable limits therefore, the facility is following inspectors recommendations and will present a plan of correction. Children in care are receiving drinking water from water jug/cups filled up in kitchen which tested within acceptable limits.

The following deficiency is being cited (see LIC 809D). 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 Site Manager, Gina Woods.
