Lead Water Testing in Your Home

As part of Westmount’s campaign for the elimination of lead in drinking water, we will be continuing our annual lead sampling programme in homes across the City during the summer of 2024.

Only homes that have a high likelihood of being served by lead pipes are targeted by this campaign. Eligible dwellings are homes or apartment buildings of 8 units or less, built before 1971, that have not been tested by the City in previous years. If your home meets these criteria, you may request water testing in your home using the form on this page.

Each request is evaluated first for the home’s eligibility, then requests are processed on a first come, first served basis. There are 250 tests available this year. Tests are at no cost to residents, and are administered between July and September by an independent and accredited laboratory mandated by the City.
