Sign up for water testing


Lead Sampling Programme

If your house is a single-family home or a residential building of 8 units of less, built before 1971, that has not previously been tested by the City, you may proceed to fill out the form below. Your request for water testing will first be evaluated for your home’s eligibility. If your home is considered eligible for the programme, you will be contacted in the spring to make an appointment, or as testing slots become available.

Important information:

  • A limited number of tests is allotted annually on a first come, first served basis.
  • Tests must be conducted between July and September of each year.
  • Testing appointments require approximately 45 minutes.
  • Water testing is performed by an independent and accredited laboratory mandated by the City.
  • The technician will verify the material of the private water service entry inside the home during the appointment for testing. This information will be collected by the City.

Water testing in private residences is based on voluntary participation. Participating residents will be informed of their test results via a personalized letter when the study is complete. The results remain confidential.
