This is the website for the California State Water Resources Control Board's Lead in Drinking Water Testing Assistance Program for Child Care Centers (CCCs). The Assistance Program is funded by the State of California to help licensed child care providers meet the requirements for testing lead in drinking water set out in Assembly Bill 2370 (AB 2370). Services are provided by the Assistance Team, led by the Office of Water Programs (OWP) at California State University, Sacramento (Sacramento State).
Free sampling, consultation, and remediation services are provided to qualified applicants directly by the Assistance Team. All sampling services must be done through the program. The program is not authorized to reimburse private/outside sampling. Consultation support is available to all CCCs to assist with drafting plans of correction for cases where lead results exceed the Action Level.
Centers with Action Level Exceedances may apply for reimbursement if they replace their fixtures with approved, low-lead fixtures. Centers that meet additional reimbursement criteria will be eligible for reimbursement up to a total of $450 per fixture with an exceedance. Reimbursement is not available for sampling completed outside the Assistance Program.
