On 03/05/2024, at approximately 8:30 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Mary Silva conducted an unannounced case management lead testing exceedance inspection for an Action Level Exceedance (ALE) detected in four water fixtures in the facility. LPA was greeted by program manager Rebecca Jimenez Barlow, whom the reason of the visit was explained. LPA was led on a tour of the facility. Census was taken. LPA observed 57 children and 15 staff. Facility was within ratio & capacity.

Per AB 2370, all CCCs that are located in buildings constructed before January 1, 2010, must have their water tested and post the results by January 1, 2023, and every 5 years after the date of the first testing.

On 02/08/2024, the Department received notification from the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB), Division of Drinking Water (DDW). The SWRCB report indicated the facility was inspected and samples were collected on 12/09/2023. Faucets and drinking fountain reported with 5.5 ppb or greater lead exceedance levels were as follows:
