Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Stephanie Piring and Soleil Marx met with Facility Representative, Caron Gregg to conduct an unannounced case management inspection regarding lead testing. The purpose of today's inspection was to document a plan of correction following reports of lead exceedance in one of the facility outlets.

On 12/07/2023, the facility tested water samples for lead. Lead testing identified two water outlets that has a Lead Exceedance over the amount of 5.5 parts per billion (ppb). The water outlet designated as outlet E has an exceedance of 6.2 ppb.


Facility Representative stated water outlet with lead exceedance was covered and placed out of order, the fixture was replaced, and they will have the outlet retested. Facility provides water in a pitcher from another water fountain and children bring water bottles from home.


A deficiency is cited on the subsequent page of the report and is considered a potential threat to the health and safety of children in care. An exit interview was conducted with the Director. LPA provided Facility Representative with Appeal Rights and a Notice of Site Visit that must be posted for 30 days.
