Please be advised, The City of Hamilton ~ Water Dept. are continuing their annual direct outreach effort to residents that live in a home built before 1955 and where city records indicate they either have a ‘lead’ or ‘unknown’ water service line into their home. Prior to 1955, lead was used as the standard pipe type for private water service lines. Lead is a known toxic metal and exposure to even small amounts can be harmful to human health. Although the City has implemented a Corrosion Control program, removal of the lead source is the best way to protect against exposure. For further details contact www.hamilton.ca/leadpipes
