LPA met with Director, Annaleza Roque. Also present during today's inspection was 1 child and 1 staff. A lead test completed for water locations intended for human consumption for faucets within the facility. On 10/17/2023, samples were collected from 2 faucets within the facility. 1 faucet, labeled "A" is a faucet sink and hand washing station in the classroom which test results showed a level of 6.10 ppb level of lead. A result of 5.5 ppb or greater is deemed an Action Level Exceedance and requires the issuance of a deficiency and a Plan of Correction. The remaining 1 faucet that was tested had results either below 5.5 ppb or had no measurable level of lead detected, "Analyte Not Detected - ND". A Plan of Correction has been discussed with the director and one of the following actions will be taken to remedy the issue: 1. The faucet on the sink to be replaced and a new sample will be conducted; or 2. The fountain will be permanently closed and removed One Type B Deficiency was issued today with a plan of correction due date of 01/22/2024, see LIC 809D for additional information.
