| During the inspection, LPA observed a water fountain at the entrance of the home. Licensee states children do not go in the front yard, but occasionally may touch the water when entering or exiting the home. Licensee states she talks to children about not touching the fountain because the water is dirty. LPA recommended for Licensee to drain the water to prevent children from having contact.
