The water outlet identified as "T" tested with an ALE of 11 ppb. During the inspection, D1 removed children from the classroom in which outlets S and T are located. D1 stated water outlets S and T are now no longer in use. D1 stated the classroom is now not in use and will not be in use until the outlets have been retested and are no longer in exceedance. Alternative drinking water has been provided to the children through a drinking fountain in the classroom to which children were removed, and children bring their own water bottles.
