If you suspect that you have lead service pipes or lead plumbing in your home, you may wish to have your tap water tested for lead. Some municipalities in Ontario have programs that help residents test their drinking water for lead. Contact your municipality for more information about your water service pipes and what is available in your community.

Alternatively, you can arrange your own drinking water lead test through a licensed laboratory. For more information please visit Ontario Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change – Drinking Water Information or phone the Public Information Centre at 1-800-565-4923.
