07Risks and environment at 161 Eglinton Ave E
Flood and shoreline hazards
OutsideThis address
TRCA's maps show this address is outside the areas that could flood from rivers in a major storm (TRCA plans for a storm like Hurricane Hazel in 1954) and outside lake shoreline hazards. Basement flooding from overloaded sewers can still happen anywhere in the city.
Source: TRCA Regulation mapping 2025
Lead in tap-water tests, postal area M4P
5.3% of tests above Ontario's limitYour area · M4P
In postal area M4P, 6 of 114 home tap-water samples (5.3%) tested above Ontario's limit for lead (10 micrograms per litre). Across Toronto, 2.0% of samples did, so M4P is higher than the city overall. Health Canada recommends a stricter limit of 5 micrograms per litre: 14 samples here (12%) were above it. These are voluntary tests, mostly from older homes, so they don't tell you about this house. Lead comes from old pipes and plumbing, not the City's treatment plants. If your home was built before the mid-1950s, you can get a free test kit by calling 311.
