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 faucet tested above the allowable level (5.5 ppb or greater) of lead in the water: Faucet “D” – Sink located in Room #1, 7.3 ppb The licensee has made the faucet inaccessible by posting a sign over the faucet stating "For Hand Washing Only, Not For Drinking or Food Prep". The licensee plans to replace the supply lines and angle stops and retest the faucet . Children in care are receiving drinking water from water supplied by Faucet A located in the kitchen. Faucet A tested below the threshold of 5 ppb. The following deficiency is being cited [101700.3(b)(2)], (see LIC 809D). A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days.
