Brampton Water Service Line Replacement

Your water service pipe starts at the curb stop by the property line and ends at the basement meter. Old copper, galvanized or lead lines eventually need replacement.

Signs your service line is failing

  • Wet ground or a sinkhole between the curb and the house
  • Discoloured water at every tap, especially first thing in the morning
  • An older home with a lead or galvanized service line

How it is replaced

Many lines can be replaced with trenchless methods that pull new pipe through the old route, limiting lawn damage. Where that is not possible, a trench is dug. Either way, everything on the city side of the curb stop is the Region of Peel's to handle, and locates are arranged before work begins.

  1. Confirm material and route of the existing line.
  2. Arrange locates and any required permits.
  3. Install new pipe by trenchless method or trench.
  4. Connect to the house with a new main shut-off and test.

Lead service lines in older Brampton homes

A few of the oldest downtown houses still take water through lead. The Region of Peel has offered programs to help homeowners replace lead lines; check the current details. Lead scratches bright with a key and ignores a magnet.

Questions we get

Who owns the service line?

The portion from the curb stop to the house is typically the homeowner's responsibility. The Region looks after the line from the main to the curb stop.
