Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Janette Cruz, conducted an unannounced case management inspection and met with Audry Carbajal, Infant Director. LPA explained the purpose of today’s inspection is to follow-up lead testing completed on 12/17/22 that indicated water outlets found to have Action Level Exceedance (ALE) on the following water outlets and locations: Outlet M - 8.2 ppb - Room K4 Outlet E - 8.2 ppb - Room K1 Outlet N - 5.7 ppb - Room K5 Outlet L - 14 ppb - Room K4 LPA informed Director that results of water testing indicated ALE, hence, water from these outlets are deemed not safe to drink or be used for food preparation due to elevated levels of lead. Census was taken, a total of 153 children were present with 16 staff supervising. LPA reviewed the water sample summary and requested Director to identify water outlets “M, E, N and L." LPA observed that plastic bags are placed over the affected water faucets making them inaccessible for use. Director stated that the remediation process on all outlets had started and professional plumbing is scheduled tomorrow 3/9/23 to replace all faucets marked unsafe for drinking or use. Director stated that there is no water re-sampling scheduled at this time. Director stated that the facility provides water to children via water jugs collected from safe water outlets (ex. cafeteria) or children bring their own water from home. Director stated that they currently do not have bottle waters readily available for consumption on site. Director stated that the facility provides meals for the children and water being used for food preparation comes from the water faucet located in their cafeteria. LPA obtained the following facility documents during todays inspection: Self-Certification (LIC9275) completed by Certified External Water Sampler, Sampling Checklist Form (LIC9276), Facility Sketch (LIC999) labeled with locations of water outlets that were tested and water testing summary conducted by Enthalpy Analytical on 12/17/22.
