    Water Sampling and Testing Program
TCDSB's annual water sampling and testing program has been in place since 1989 to test for lead in drinking water in schools and offices. Aqua Environmental was selected by the Board in May 2007 to undertake the sampling from drinking taps at all TCDSB schools.

2007 Results:

 

The Ministry of Environment announced on June 7, 2007 a new regulation requiring schools to test their water for lead annually and to flush their water daily for at least 5 minutes.

TCDSB's testing and flushing program exceeds many of the requirements in the new legislation. Head Caretakers have been flushing the water every morning for 20 minutes before classes begin. Also, the TCDSB tests for lead and bacteria.

The results of last year's water test results can be found on the OHS Department's intranet site.
