High lead levels in drinking water found in 139 San Diego child care centers
In San Diego County, 139 child care centers have reported lead levels in drinking water above state safety standards, according to state data. Centers built before 2010 are required to test all faucets and drinking fountains, per Assembly Bill 2370. If levels are above five parts lead per billion particles, they have to be fixed. It’s part of the licensing requirements for child care centers.
