During the visit, LPA toured the facility and observed on the report provided by the SWRCB, Faucet B was identified as having high levels of lead. The faucet is located in the faciity's kitchen. Staff stated that the faucet was only used for cleaning and clearing dishes and not for drinking water or food preparation. Director stated kitchen staff was immediately advised not to use Sink B, but the sink was not turned off or labeled not to be used . The faucet has been replaced with non-lead faucet on December 21, 2022 but has yet to be retested. Director was advised the facility is required to have SInk B retested and should not be used until the levels do not exceed. The sink was properly labeled out of order prior to LPA leaving the facility.
