25 | On 11/21/23 at 08:55AM, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Sumayya Habeebulla and Amber Shaw, conducted a Case Management visit in response to information received from the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB), Division of Drinking Water (DDW). LPAs met with Assistant Director Shandra Gonzalez who was informed of the reason for the visit.
Assembly Bill 2370, Chapter 676, Statutes of 2018, requires all licensed Child Care Centers constructed before January 1, 2010, to test their drinking and cooking water for lead contamination between January 1, 2020, and January 1, 2023, and then every 5 years after the date of the first lead testing. LPA observed on the report provided by the SWRCB the FAUCET located in Room P6 identified as having high levels of lead.
The faucet is located in an infant classroom – P6 and the classroom is not currently being used. As per Ms. Shandra Gonzalez the faucet located in the classroom was tested with above the permitted level. The facility retested the faucet, and the results still came out above the permitted level. Facility will be replacing the faucet and the water lines as a plan of correction. Once the faucet and water lines have been replaced, facility will conduct retesting for the faucet. Ms. Gonzalez will submit the scheduled dates for testing to the department as soon as it is available.
See LIC 809D for cited deficiency in accordance with the California Code of Regulations Title 22, Division 12 written directives.
An exit interview was conducted with the Assistant Director Shandra Gonzalez. A copy of this report, appeal rights and a Notice of Site Visit was issued. |
