25 | Due to required lead testing requirements, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Susan Brewer conducted a Case Management Inspection based on a 2nd Lead testing report received on 04/05/2023. An initial visit was conducted on 01/24/2023, which revealed that although the licensee did not have a lead exceedance for the reports provided on 11/07/2022, the facility failed to test water from 3 outlets in the facility’s Kitchen, which are used for consumption and food preparation for all childcare programs. The 2nd report indicated that additional sampling from 3 kitchen outlets on 01/27/2023, and results received by Tutor Time of Upland on 01/30/2023 show Action Level Exceedance on 2 of the 3 outlets located in the facility kitchen. LPA S. Brewer toured the facility, took census and met with Director Wendy Leath, to further discuss lead results received and measures taken for remediation of lead exceedances.
During the inspection, LPA toured and obtained photos of the following water outlets identified with lead exceedances: Outlet C, 12.90 ppb and Outlet D, 19.70 ppb, which are located in the kitchen. LPA obtained photos of required signage posted at outlets for cessation of use, prior to todays inspection.
Facility implemented the following plan of action until formal remediation was be completed on water outlets: Covered water outlets and posted required signage for non-use. Steps were taken to repair and replace parts for outlets C and D, as well as install a water filter in the kitchen. Facility scheduled a retesting date on 02/28/2023. LPA observed notification of lead results posted at the facility in the front entrance.
Additional sources for access to water were verified on 01/24/2023. The facility has access to additional water resources, fountains, using water sports jugs for indoor/outdoor and bottled water.
