LPA conducted an inspection and toured the premises with Justina. It was indicated that there was at least one (1) outlet that exceeded the Action Level established by the State for exposure. It is located in the outdoor play ground, used for hosing down the play ground. Justina stated this outlet was never used by children for drinking or food prep. Children have always used water from other outlets which did not have exceedance. Licensee stated they plan to keep it decommissioned and have it out of service immediately. The lead exceedance did not pose a health and safety risk to children in care, therefore no d eficiency is cited today. Present today were 28 children with both Licensees and 2 staff members.
