We discussed methods to patch or repair the items. Hold harmless has been extended until the new QRIS is implemented (SB 425). Providers in Cohort 1 are not required to go any further with a rated license assessment unless they want to, and providers in Cohort 2 do not need to start their preparation year unless they want to. This is optional and up to your discretion at this time. I would advise to still work on preparing and ensuring staff education is current in WORKS. If you've had a lead water test in the past it is likely due (every 3 years). Visit cleanwaterforcarolinakids.org and apply for a water test timely before you receive a sanitation inspection.
