25 | On June 29, 2023, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Maddox conducted an unannounced case management inspection. LPA Maddox met with facility representative Evelyn Chinchilla. The purpose of today's inspection was to conduct a case management inspection, and to notify the facility there has been a lead exceedance referred for an Action Level Exceedance (ALE) of over 5.5 parts per billion (ppb) in the water at the facility.
Palmdale Regional Office received notification of water lead exceedance at the facility resulting from a recent water lead sampling test. Based on the records reviewed, outlet (E), an outdoor drinking fountain (connected to the Preschool) was capped off prior to the water testing and therefore, was not tested. Director stated, unbeknownst to her, the testing agent moved the (E) sticker (previously labeled and attached to the Preschool) to the School age area located in the rear of the center. The water tested inside of the main building used for cooking came back with normal levels. Center utilizes water coolers with disposable cups (and also cups labeled with each child's name) for inside drinking water.
As a result of this inspection, no citation was issued as a result of this inspection. Exit interview conducted, a copy of this report was left with Director, Evelyn Chinchilla.
