Priority Lead Water Service Replacement Program
City of Toronto · Open · lead water service replacement
The City replaces its side of the lead water service, from the watermain to the property line, at no cost when the owner replaces the private side. The private side is the owner's cost.
- The pipe must be confirmed as lead; the page says a licensed plumber can confirm it
- Option one: the City's contractor replaces both sides at once. Option two: replace the private side with your own contractor, then apply with proof
- The City is not responsible for work on private property
Replace your private lead pipe and Toronto replaces its side on a priority basis.
