The results showed 39 per cent of samples had lead levels that exceeded the current Health Canada guideline of five ppb. “I’m surprised,” said Bruce Lanphear, a leading Canadian drinking water researcher who reviewed Canadian lead levels obtained by the investigation. The management, treatment and distribution of drinking water fall to the provinces, while the day-to-day, hands-on functions of water systems fall to the municipalities. Even if municipalities did have the means to aggressively remove lead lines, most wouldn’t even know where to start digging.
