25 | On 02/21/23 at 09:15 AM, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Sumayya Habeebulla and Jessica Rubio, conducted a Case Management visit in response to information received from the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB), Division of Drinking Water (DDW). LPAs met with Director, Theresa Salley who was informed of the reason for the visit.
Assembly Bill 2370, Chapter 676, Statutes of 2018, requires all licensed Child Care Centers constructed before January 1, 2010, to test their drinking and cooking water for lead contamination between January 1, 2020 and January 1, 2023, and then every 5 years after the date of the first lead testing. LPA observed on the report provided by the SWRCB the FAUCET B (Drinking Water Fountain) identified as having high levels of lead.
The faucet is located in the School Age Classroom B. The Director stated the faucet has been replaced but not retested yet. The Drinking water faucet is not currently being used. The Director stated she will be scheduling the retest for the specified faucet soon and will keep the Department updated about the results.
Interviews with staff revealed that the children have not used the drinking water fountain yet.
See LIC 809D for cited deficiency in accordance with the California Code of Regulations Title 22, Division 12 written directives.
During the Exit interview LPAs informed the Director to submit retesting for each classroom under the correct License numbers.
An exit interview was conducted with the Director Theresa Salley. A copy of this report, appeal rights and a Notice of Site Visit was issued. |
