All Child Care Centers that are located in buildings constructed before January 1, 2010, must have their water tested and post the results by January 1, 2023, and every 5 years after the date of the first testing. The facility received the ALE report from the Vendor on July 16, 2022. Test results for this facility that exceeded a higher level of parts per billion (ppb) allowed, 5.5 ppb. The facility was proactive in getting facility faucets tested and barricaded and or made the affected fixture out of order. The affected fixtures are D (7.4) and E(7.4). Per director, the San Francisco Unified School District are working on a project to remediate all the affected fixtures in all their sites.
