LPA explained the purpose of the visit. The department has received testing results, indicating 1 water outlet have been identified with an Action Level Exceedance (ALE) in the amount of lead in water being 5.5 ppb, or greater.

According to the facility sketch, classroom #1, sink C has an ALE. Director informed LPA the classroom is not in use and children do not have access to the water outlet. LPA ensured the water outlet was not in use and there is a potable source of water for children and staff. Drinking water is available indoors and outdoors. The facility uses filtered water from kitchen that has been tested as well with no ALE. LPA observed Lead Testing results posted on Parent Board.
