The private side of your lead service line is the section that runs from the city's property line to your water meter inside the house. Legally and financially, it's your responsibility — not the city's. And it's the section that delivers water directly into your home's plumbing system.

Most Toronto homeowners don't realize they can book a private-side replacement independently, without waiting for the city to schedule the full line. If your home was built before 1955, the private-side replacement is something you can act on right now, and it removes the greatest source of lead exposure at your tap.

How It Works

Confirm what you have

We inspect the meter connection and confirm the private-side section is lead. We also note the depth, length, and path — all of which affect the quote.

Written quote

Private-side replacements are typically more straightforward than full-line jobs. You'll get a written fixed price covering the full scope.

Permit and schedule

Permit is filed with the City of Toronto. Once approved, we schedule the replacement — typically within one to two weeks of approval.

One-day job

We open the yard from property line to foundation, remove the lead section, and install the new line. Water is restored before we leave.

Don't wait for the city to schedule the full line if you can act now. Replacing the private side stops the contamination that flows directly through your home. The city program can help offset costs. Call us to get started. Toronto Lead Pipe Solutions is ready to help.

Questions & Answers

Is the private-side replacement eligible for the city program?

Yes — the Toronto Lead Pipe Replacement Program includes partial cost coverage and interest-free financing for private-side work. We handle all the paperwork.

What happens if I replace my side and the city side is still lead?

Your exposure is significantly reduced, though not eliminated entirely. The city side is upstream of your private connection and still delivers water through a lead section. A private-side replacement is a major improvement and often the fastest option while waiting for city coordination.

What happens to my water while you work?

You'll be off water for a few hours during the connection work. We give you advance notice and restore service completely before we leave.

Can I coordinate the city side at the same time?

We can request city coordination when we file the private-side permit. Whether the city schedules their portion at the same time depends on their current queue in your district.
