Flood and shoreline hazards

Lead in tap-water tests, postal area M5V
9.4% of tests above Ontario's limit Your area · M5V
In postal area M5V, 3 of 32 home tap-water samples (9.4%) tested above Ontario's limit for lead (10 micrograms per litre). Across Toronto, 2.0% of samples did, so M5V is higher than the city overall. Health Canada recommends a stricter limit of 5 micrograms per litre: 4 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.

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