On September 22, 2022 at 2:35 PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Francisco Pedroza conducted an unannounced Case Management inspection to follow-up on an Action Level Exceedance (ALE) reported to the Regional Office by Division of Drinking Water (DDW). LPA met with facility Assistant Director, Jessica Knapp and advised her the purpose of the inspection. Director provided LPA a tour of the facility. There were 16 children in care at the time of the inspection.

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 five (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 (1) water outlet in this facility. The Center was notified by LPA Pedroza of the results on September 19, 2022 by phone and email. LPA advised Director that location (D) had an ALE of 6.5 ppb. Director advised the location had been secured preventing children/staff from having access.

During today’s inspection, LPA toured the entire facility and inspected the outlet in question. LPA observed that the one (1) outlet was secured in the staff only restroom. The outlet was a bathroom shower not accessible to children in care. Assistant Director advised the facility does not use the outlet for drinking or cooking water. LPA reviewed the Provider Information Notice (PIN) 21-21-CCP "Release of the Written Directives for Lead Testing of Water in Licensed Child Care Centers Per AB 2370."

Per PIN 21-21-CCP, the following outlet locations should be sampled: cold water faucets and fountains, cold water side of single-handle and dual-handle faucets that dispense both hot and cold water, filtered water dispensers, and water dispensed by refrigerators used for drinking and cooking water. The following ALE outlet sampled should not have been tested. Children do not have access to the outlet. The facility provides bottled water for children/staff in the facility.

LPA advised Assistant Director that children must not have access to the outlet. Should the facility decide to use the outlet in the future for children in care, they must correct the ALE and retest to ensure they are staying in compliance.

LPA provided a copy of PUB 515 and shared the following resources quick references:
