Lead Pipe Replacement Mississauga

Lead Pipe Replacement in Mississauga

Mississauga is largely a post-1960 city, but its oldest communities along the Lake Ontario shoreline tell a different story. Port Credit and Lakeview were established long before Mississauga existed as a city, with housing and water infrastructure dating back to the early 1900s. Homes in these areas routinely test positive for lead.

Health Canada and the City of Toronto both recommend full lead service line replacement as the only permanent solution. Filters help in the short term, but the pipe itself keeps leaching lead into the water until it's removed.

Mississauga's Water Infrastructure History

The former Township of Toronto and Town of Port Credit had independent water utilities before they were absorbed into what became Mississauga. Port Credit's original residential water connections were installed in the 1920s and 1930s with lead service lines. Most of which have never been replaced.

Where Lead Pipes Are Most Common in Mississauga

Port Credit Village (streets between Lakeshore Road and the lake, west of the Credit River), Lakeview neighbourhood (Lakeshore Road east toward Toronto), and the original Cooksville downtown area have the highest lead pipe concentrations in Mississauga. Streetsville's historic core also has some older properties worth inspecting.
