In postal area M4N, 4 of 269 home tap-water samples (1.5%) tested above Ontario's limit for lead (10 micrograms per litre). Across Toronto, 2.0% of samples did, so M4N is about the same as the city overall. Health Canada recommends a stricter limit of 5 micrograms per litre: 17 samples here (6.3%) 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. Buildings with more than six units don't have lead service pipes.
