Lead water service replacement

Many Toronto homes built before the mid-1950s still have a lead pipe bringing water in from the street. We replace your part of it with new pipe and help you line up the City's side.

Ask us about replacement if

  • Your house was built before the mid-1950s
  • The pipe coming through your basement wall is dull grey and soft (a key scratches it shiny)
  • A magnet does not stick to the incoming water pipe
  • Water pressure has dropped
  • You are renovating and the basement wall is already open

What gets replaced

The water service is the pipe from the City watermain into your home. In Toronto, the City owns the part up to your property line, and the rest is yours. We replace your part with new pipe and connect it inside the house.

Working with the City's program

If you commit to replacing your side, the City's priority program can replace its side too. We can help you line up the timing so the street side and your side are both done.

Financing through Financeit

Financing is available through Financeit for eligible residential projects. Ask Waterworks about the options for your job. Financing is subject to credit approval. Terms and conditions apply.

We serve homes in Etobicoke, Mississauga, North York and nearby Toronto communities.
