Schools, private schools and day nurseries in Ontario must flush the plumbing in their facility and test the facility’s water for lead.
Visit the schools, private schools and day nurseries section of our online resource library for a complete collection of resources to better help you meet your responsibilities.
Learn how to register your facility with the Ministry of the Environment.
If your school, private school or day nursery gets its water from its own well or drinking water system, you have further responsibilities as a designated facility. Find out more about these responsibilities.
