LPA Birks met with Lisa Clinton who guided LPA on a tour of the facility. There were 4 infants and two staff present during the inspection. The purpose of today's inspection is to review and discuss the June 28, 2022 water lead test results received on October 17, 2022. Results indicate that one water source had an action level exceedance of lead. The water fountain on the infant playground had a lead result of 9.40. LPA Birks observed the water fountain and sink fixture was removed and the plumbing capped. Staff indicated that children never used the infant faucet because they drink from bottles and/or sippy cups. The faucet was also not in use due to covid precautions. Director Clinton indicated if there was a need the facility uses bottled water. Note: all other locations which were indicated to have passing water levels). At approximately 2:30pm LPA Birks took pictures of the capped location during the inspection. A deficiency was cited to ensure that the water faucet noted will not be used as a drinking source unless the plumbing fixture passes future water testing. The deficiency listed was observed to be a potential risk and is being cited in accordance with California Code of Regulations Title 22. Note: The deficiency was also cleared today as Director Clinton provided a written plan of correction and LPA observed the water fountain was removed (and plumbing capped). Therefore, the citation is cleared today. Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with the Director Lisa Clinton. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days.
