09Risks and environment at 54 Cataraqui Cres

Flood and shoreline hazards
Outside hazard areas; inside TRCA's regulated area This 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. It is inside TRCA's regulated area, so additions, grading or other work may need a TRCA permit. Basement flooding from overloaded sewers can still happen anywhere in the city.

Source: TRCA Regulation mapping 2025

Lead in tap-water tests, postal area M1L
0% of tests above Ontario's limit Your area · M1L
In postal area M1L, 0 of 124 home tap-water samples (0%) tested above Ontario's limit for lead (10 micrograms per litre). Across Toronto, 2.0% of samples did, so M1L is lower than the city overall. Health Canada recommends a stricter limit of 5 micrograms per litre: 2 samples here (1.6%) 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.

TRCA mapping is for screening, not site-specific decisions. Lead results are voluntary samples from homes in the postal area, not this address.
