25 | On 01/04/2022, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Perla Ordones and Laura Mejorado arrived at the facility to conduct a case management inspection regarding elevated levels of lead in the sink faucet in the kitchen (detonated as III on the post-testing facility sketch), the drinking fountain in Room 7 (detonated as KK on the post-testing facility sketch), and the drinking fountain in the infant playground (detonated as TTT on the post-testing facility sketch). During this inspection, LPAs toured the facility, inside and out, took census, verified facility associations, reviewed records, and discussed the following with Director, Sandy Karge:
LPAs toured the facility, specifically the sinks and/or faucets located in the the kitchen, the drinking fountain in Room 7, and the drinking fountain in the infant playground. LPAs observed the III sink/faucet(s) to have a single hand washing spout, the KK sink/faucet(s) to have a hand washing and drinking spout, along with both spouts dispersing water, and the TTT sink/faucet(s) to have a drinking spout and an outlet for a hose to connect. It should be noted that while the TTT faucet had two water outlets, the water that flowed to the drinking spout was able to be turned off while not affecting the water going to the hose outlet that was on.
Per Director, the facility supplies a 5-gallon freshwater jug with disposable cups to be used to supply water to children while outside and the facility also maintains other drinking faucets that did not test with Action Level Exceedances. Per Director, the faucet in the kitchen (III), has always been used solely for hand washing, not used for food preparation, and should not have been tested.
See LIC809-D for cited deficiencies.
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, Sandy Karge.
