The Ontario Ministry of the Environment passed a mandatory regulation in 2007 that requires municipalities to regularly sample potable water in homes and businesses for potential lead contamination.
Property owners with homes or businesses constructed prior to 1960 are eligible to apply for testing for lead in their drinking water at no charge.
To register for the lead testing program, call 705-674-4455, ext. 3630 or register online at www.greatersudbury.ca/leadtesting.
