What areas in Guelph are at higher risk?
Lead pipes are no longer installed for water servicing nor is lead used in solder, however, older neighbourhoods may still have lead service pipes in place. Lead was used for service piping until the mid 1950s and used for solder until 1990. Homes and non-residential buildings built before these dates that still have the original plumbing are at a higher risk of elevated lead concentrations in the water. Refer to the potential lead service area map to determine if your home could be affected by lead.
