 LPA Ornelas observed Preschool 2 room with no children, LPA Ornelas observed book fail display boards in the middle of the room. LPA advised boards will need to be removed from classroom.

During today’s visit LPA Ornelas collected copies of Facility Sketch (water faucets/outlets identified) and a copy of the email provided by testing technician with results including instructions of 3 week faucet flow procedure. LPA took pictures of faucets/ outlets.

Based on observation, interviews and sampling records it has been determined that these outlets are still out of compliance.

LPA discussed Plan of Correction (POC) with Director. Director has replaced all faucets identified with an Action Lead Exceedance of 5.5 ppb or over. A filtration water filtration system was placed underneath the sink with instructions of 3 week faucet flow procedure to run water for 30 second four times daily. Facility is scheduled for a third test of identified outlets on 11/07/2022. These outlets will remain inaccessible for use until a retest has occurred.
