Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

On 11/16/2023 at 9:15AM Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), A. Curry arrived at the facility to conduct an unannounced visit to follow up regarding a lead exceedance. LPA met with the Director, Joshua Reed, to explain the purpose of today's visit. The licensee failed to maintain a lead value at or below the Action Level for water lead testing resulting with values of 5.5ppb or greater for outlet H. Water testing results identified with Action Level Exceedance as defined in WD section 101700.3 are not deemed safe to drink (See 809D). The director indicated Outlet H has been replaced and the Director was advised to retest the outlet prior to the outlet being used for children to ensure the outlet no longer exceeds the allowed amount. During the visit the Director made the sink inaccessible by placing a bag over the outlet to ensure the outlet is not being used. Exit interview conducted, appeal rights were given, and report was reviewed with the Director, Joshua Reed.
