Lead safety check·September 16, 2025

On 09/16/2025, Licensing Program Analysts (LPA), Y.Yang and J. Patel made a case management inspection and met with licensee, Cary Rich. 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(s) tested above the allowable level (5.5 ppb) of lead in the water: Sample Site, "A", located in the facility's kitchen had a reading of 38.0ppb. Any other sources of water that were tested measured below the allowable level of 5.5ppb. The facility currently does not have any children enrolled. The licensee stated that she will temporarily remove the faucet from service by turning off the water supply and taping up the faucet so staff have no way of using it. The licensee submitted the External Water Sampling Self-Certification Form (LIC 9275), Child Care Center Sampling Checklist Form (LIC 9276) and Facility Sketch/Floor Plan (LIC 999) to LPA. The following deficiency is being cited (see LIC 809D). Appeal Rights was provided. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days.
