Water safety
We ensure that water is safe for swimming and that water is safe to drink.
Drinking water
In Peel, drinking water comes from Lake Ontario, regionally owned wells, or private wells. We make it a priority to provide safe, clean, reliable drinking water. We ensure that we meet drinking water standards by treating Peel's source water and regularly testing water samples. Learn about your drinking water, and how to get your drinking water tested for lead.
Private wells
If you have a well on your property, you are responsible for it and must follow rules for maintaining and, if necessary, abandoning a well.
