On 10/26/22 at 1:;50 pm, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Wisehart made a case management inspection and met with Heather Lingemann. 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 “A” – playground drinking fountain, 47.0 ppb

The licensee has made the faucet(s) inaccessible in March 2020 when the faucet was removed. Currently the playground only has a non functioning pipe coming out of the ground. The licensee tested the pipe because she plan in the future to place a new fountain on the site for playground use. The licensee has replaced the faucet knob and is waiting for a new test date; however, the faucet is currently non functioning. The licensee plans to retest the faucet before installing a new drinking fountain on the site.

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 licensee Heather Lingemann.
