25 | On March 01, 2024 at approximately 12:00pm, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Ly conducted an unannounced, case management inspection for the Action Level Exceedance (ALE) of Lead in Child Care Center's water. LPA met with Site Manager, Iokchan Lei. The purpose of the inspection was explained.
Facility is an infant/toddler facility. Present during today's visit were 4 staff caring for 9 infants and 4 other staff caring 12 toddlers.
LPA discussed the new Assembly Bill (AB) 2370, Chapter 676, Statutes of 2018 requires the Lead Testing of water in the Child Care Center with the site director during the inspection. All Child Care Centers that are located in buildings constructed before January 1, 2010, must have their water tested and post the results by January 1, 2023, and every 5 years after the date of the first testing.
The facility received the ALE report from the Vendor on 06/14/2022. Test results for this facility that exceeded a higher level of parts per billion (ppb) allowed, 5.5ppb. The facility was proactive putting signs indicating that the water outlets and sinks are "not for drinking" and for "hand washing only." The facility took action to contact the facility's management to repair and replace the fixtures. Per Site Manager, the affected fixture B located in the toddler classroom with the lead test result 8.5 is currently being used for hand washing only.
