On 07/01/2024 at 3:30 PM, Licensing Program Analysts Gabriela Hernandez and Kelly Gerth, conducted a Case Management visit in response to information received from the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB), Division of Drinking Water (DDW). LPAs met with Director Delaney Villani who was informed of the reason for the visit.
Assembly Bill 2370, Chapter 676, Statutes of 2018, requires all licensed Child Care Centers constructed before January 1, 2010, to test their drinking and cooking water for lead contamination between January 1, 2020 and January 1, 2023, and then every 5 years after the date of the first lead testing. Director notified LPA's the CCC was reconstructed in approx. 2013. Even though the facility was constructed after 2010, LPAs received notification from SWRCB regarding high levels of leads.

LPA observed on the report provided by the SWRCB the DRINKING FOUNTAIN FAUCET IDENTIFIED KK as having high levels of lead.

LPA’s Gabriela Hernandez and Kelly Gerth interviewed the Director, staff and examined the faucet deemed an Action Level Exceedance. During inspection, Director provided LPAs with facility sketch, the required signed and dated forms (LIC9275/9276), and photo of faucet KK that was taken by the water testing agency.

The drinking water fountain labeled KK is located outside in the infant playground. Director Delaney Villani, informed LPAs that to her knowledge the drinking faucet has not been used by infants or teachers. LPA’s observed the faucet is still accessible to staff and children in care. Interviews with 3 of 3 staff members (S1,S2, and S3) revealed they have not used the water source for drinking water for children in care, however they have not been informed if the water source is allowed for drinking use, and the water fountain has not been made inaccessible, to date.
