101700.3(b)(2) · Licensees shall maintain a lead value at or below the Action Level of 5.5 ppb in all outlets subject to the testing requirements of these Written Directives, for the health and safety of children in care.

The licensee has made the faucets temporarily inaccessible by turning off the water, bagging the faucet, and posting signs. The facility is discussing plans to replace and retest the faucets or to premanently remove the faucets. This decision shall be made by 5/24/24 and conveyed to LPA E. Laird. Based on record review, the facility had 3 faucet(s) with lead test results exceeding 5.5 ppb of lead in the water. This is a potential health and safety risk to children in care. For faucets that will be retested, retesting documents shall be submitted within 2 weeks of the completed sampling. For faucets that will be permanently removed, photos of the removed faucet shall be sent to erica.laird@dss.ca.gov by 6/15/24. SUPERVISOR'S NAME: Megan Aviles
