On November 17, 2022 at 9:45 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Francisco Pedroza conducted an unannounced Case Management inspection to follow-up on an Action Level Exceedance (ALE) reported to the Regional Office by Division of Drinking Water (DDW). LPA met with facility Site Supervisor, Pat Maduena and advised her the purpose of the inspection. Supervisor provided LPA a tour of the facility. There were 13 children in care at the time of the inspection.

Assembly Bill (AB) 2370, Chapter 676, Statutes of 2018, requires all licensed Child Care Centers (CCCs) constructed before January 1, 2010 to test their drinking water for lead contamination between January 1, 2020 and January 1, 2023, and then every five (5) years after the date of the first test. If the water testing results indicate that the facility has an ALE, an immediate response shall be required pursuant to section 101704, which may include remediation.

The Regional Office received an ALE for one (1) water outlet in this facility. The Center was notified by LPA Pedroza of the results on November 2, 2022 by phone and email. LPA advised Program Coordinator Shannon Pimentel that location "A" had an ALE of 9.4 ppb. Program Coordinator advised the location had been secured preventing children/staff from having access.

During today’s inspection, LPA toured the facility and inspected the outlet in question. LPA observed the facility had the test results posted in view for parents to see. Parents were notified of the ALE. LPA observed the location tested with an ALE was shut-off. The outlet is a sink in the classroom used for washing hands and dishes. Supervisor advised LPA that prior to testing the outlet, the facility had the faucet and water lines replaced. Site supervisor advised they have always provided bottled water for the children/staff. They even use the bottle water to wash dishes and fruits that may be provided for children.

Facility plans to have a local vendor install a reverse osmosis system under the sink to filter the water making it drinkable for children/staff. LPA advised Supervisor the facility will have to have the water tested to ensure it corrects the ALE prior to allowing children/staff use it for drinking. LPA advised Supervisor that they are allowed to wash dishes and hands in the sink. The water cannot be used for drinking, cooking, or washing foods like fruits where children will consume. LPA reviewed the Provider Information Notice (PIN) 21-21-CCP "Release of the Written Directives for Lead Testing of Water in Licensed Child Care Centers Per AB 2370."

Per PIN 21-21-CCP, the following outlet locations should be sampled: cold water faucets and fountains, cold water side of single-handle and dual-handle faucets that dispense both hot and cold water, filtered water dispensers, and water dispensed by refrigerators used for drinking and cooking water. The following outlet is used for washing hands and dishes until the facility has the local vendor install the water system. Once that system is installed and passes the lead test, the facility can use it for drinking water if they choose to instead of bottle water.

No deficiency was cited during today's inspection.

Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with the Site Supervisor.
