Do you have lead in your tap water?

If you’re concerned about the possibility of lead contamination in your tap water, keep an eye out for these potential sources of lead:

  • Lead water service pipe connecting your home to the municipal water supply
  • Homes built before 1955
  • Household plumbing fixtures with high lead content
  • Lead-based plumbing solder

Remember, the longer water stays in contact with any of these sources, the higher the amount of lead that may seep into your tap water.

Pro tip: You can test your tap water for lead and receive instructions at a laboratory or call the Ministry of the Environment at 1-800-565-4923.

How to identify a lead water service pipe in your home on your own

If you’re concerned about whether or not you have a lead water service pipe in your home, there are a few things you can look out for. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to identify a lead water service pipe in your home:

  1. Locate your water meter: Your water meter is usually located on the outside of your house, and it can help you identify where the meter’s located in the basement. If it’s on the side of the house, the meter is usually located on that particular side.
  2. Identify the water service line: Once you’ve located the water service line, you’ll want to do a visual inspection of the service type. There are five different types of water services that can come into your home: copper, PVC plastic, lead, half-inch alloyed lead, and galvanized pipe.
  3. Conduct a scratch test: If you’re not sure if the service line is made of copper, you can conduct a scratch test. Use a dull surface like a coin or loonie to scratch the surface of the pipe. Copper will scratch easily and become shiny, while lead will remain dull in color and not scratch easily.
  4. Be careful when conducting the scratch test: Be sure to scratch the surface of the pipe in the right location, which is the part of the water service between the main valve and the wall. Don’t do the scratch test on the part of the water service that’s coming from the wall.
  5. Don’t handle old pipes roughly: Some of these water services are very old and fragile, so be careful when handling them.
  6. Ask for help if you’re unsure: If you’re still unsure about the type of service line you have, call a professional plumber or the City of Hamilton for an inspection.

FAQs

How much lead is allowed in drinking water in Ontario?

The Maximum Allowable Concentration (MAC) for lead in regulated drinking water systems is 0.010 milligrams per litre (10 micrograms per litre). This level is based on average concentrations of lead in water consumed over a long time and long-term effects of lead.

It’s worth noting that short-term consumption of concentrations above the MAC does not necessarily cause risk to health. However, certain groups of people such as children six years of age and under, pregnant women and women planning a pregnancy are more susceptible to the harmful effects of lead.

Is your AC unit struggling to keep you cool during those hot summer months? Here are a few signs that it might be time to consider replacing your unit:

  2. Frequent Breakdowns: If your AC unit requires frequent repairs or has broken down more than once in the past year, it might be more cost-effective to replace it.

  4. Uneven Cooling: Do some rooms in your home feel cooler than others? It could be a sign that your AC unit isn’t distributing cool air evenly throughout your home.
