25 | On 10/03/2022 at 8:30am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Sebastian Phouthavong made a case management inspection and met with Director, Rachel Coburn. 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 kitchen sink tested above the allowable level (5 ppb) of lead in the water: Sample Sites, Kitchen sink, 39.400 ppb. All other sources of water tested below the allowable level of 5.0ppb.
The staff have made the kitchen sink inaccessible by temporarily taping up the sink, so children have no way of using it. Children in care are receiving drinking water from bottled water and can able to use the other rooms for water. The director stated the fixer has been replaced on 09/24/2022 and is required to be checked on and have the sink running for a certain amount of time every day for 30 days before retesting the sink. The facility plans to retest once completed.
The facility will submit the External Water Sampling Self-Certification Form (LIC 9275), Child Care Center Sampling Checklist Form (LIC 9276) and Facility Sketch/Floor Plan (LIC 999) to LPA.
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 the Director, Rachel Coburn. |
