On 10/26/22 at 9:40am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) N. Cunningham made a case management inspection and met with T. Mulford. The inspection was made in response to water lead testing results received from the California State Water Resource Control Board. The test results showed that the following faucets tested above the allowable level (5.5 ppb or greater) of lead in the water:

Faucet “I” – playground drinking fountain, 7.3ppb

The facility has made the faucet inaccessible by taping a bag over the the drinking fountain. The facility representative stated they believe the facility plans to permanently remove the faucet. Children in care are receiving drinking water from water pitcher and cups.

The following deficiency is being cited (see LIC 809D). A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100.

Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with facility representative, T. Mulford.
