LPA reminded site director that if, after January 1, 2023, it is determined that any water outlets at your facility have been or are being used for either drinking or food preparation, as the licensee, you will be subject to potential adverse action consistent with statute, Title 22 regulations, and the Written Directives, including but not limited to citations and civil penalties. If you plan or expect to begin using an outlet for food preparation or drinking water, you must notify your local regional office. In addition, it is recommended that parents and authorized representative are notified that the facility plans to test for lead and, following testing results, begin using tap water for drinking and/or food preparation. The facility must then follow the testing guidance outlined in the written directives, and test outlets prior to initial use of tap water for drinking water or food preparation.

Incidental Medical Services (IMS) policy was discussed. For IMS information see PIN 22-02CCP. When any IMS is provided, an updated Plan of Operation that includes IMS must be submitted to the Department.

A civil penalty of $100.00 minimum/day for a maximum of 5 days or, if the penalty is for a repeat violation, for a maximum of 30 days per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.
