Follow-up on corrections·May 20, 2022

On 05/20/2022 at 8:45 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kiriko Lynch made a case management inspection and met with Laura Wyrick. The inspection was made in response to water lead testing results received from the California State Water Resource Control Board. The test results showed that the following faucets tested above the allowable level (5.5 ppb) of lead in the water: Faucet “C” – staff restroom 1, 16 ppb The staff have made the faucet inaccessible by: the location the sink is in the staff restroom and children will not be using the restroom unless child is isolating due to illness under supervision of a staff member. The licensee plans to use a permanent placard identifying the outlet as a hand-washing only, non-potable use only/not for human consumption. Children in care are receiving drinking water from filtered pitchers and disposable cups, filled with water from the facility kitchen sink. LPA noted this faucet was tested due to an optional testing by the facility, and not mandated by the regulations. The following deficiency is being cited (see LIC 809D). A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100. Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with the facility representative Laura Wyrick.
