In many inner-city areas of Toronto water flows from the mains into
our homes through lead pipes. Water quality can be tested by
obtaining sample kits from your local Toronto Public Health Office.
When lead levels exceed acceptable amounts, the case is referred to
Toronto Water who will issue a Water Service Replacement Contract.
Costs for the work vary depending upon the length and size of pipe
to be replaced.
This photograph shows the excavation done by City of Toronto
licensed contractors to replace lead with copper pipes at Dupont.
A laser is used in the trench to ensure the slope between the
