drinking and food preparation) for lead contamination before January 1, 2023, and then every 5-years after the date of the first test. For child care center licenses issued after July 1, 2022, the licensee shall test their water for lead within 180 days of licensure pursuant to Written Directives section 101700 (PIN 21-21.1- CCP). LPA verified that the lead testing was completed in accordance to the Written Directives outlined in https://www.cdss.ca.gov/Portals/9/CCLD/PINs/2021/CCP/PIN-21-21_1-CCP.pdf. LPA referred facility representative to the Department website for lead: https://www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/child-care-licensing/water-testing-information
