25 | On July 1, 2022 LPA Austin Rios conducted a Case Management- Other Inspection to follow up on Action Level Exceedance (ALE) reported to the Regional Office by WWD. LPA met site coordinator Eric Reynolds who showed LPA the classroom.
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 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 water outlet in this facility. The Center was notified by LPA of the results on 6/17/2022 by phone and email. LPA received a response from director stating the center has taken the following steps as a Plan of Correction (POC): Director, risk management stated facility has the water shut off to the one outlet, will be replacing it, flushing it, re-testing and will send in a new report when it passes and it re-opened. LPA noted in the pcitures that it is also taped off with a sign not to use.
This outlet C is located in classroom 30 and is the drinking fountain. Facility is now flushing the outlet.
During today’s inspection, LPA toured the entire facility and inspected the outlet in question. LPA found the outlet labeled and sectioned off. Facility is currently closed for summer break and will not be open until 8/24/2022. Facility was not using classroom#30 at all in 2021 or 2022. |
