Local Water Analysis
Solving Scarborough's Specific Water Challenges
Homes across Scarborough receive municipal water sourced from Lake Ontario.
Post-war single-family homes, multi-generational households, and coastal bluff properties. Over time, unfiltered hard minerals accumulate inside tankless water heaters, leave stubborn cloudy spots on glass shower doors, and degrade fixtures throughout the home.
What Scarborough Homeowners Deal With
- Chlorine and chloramine disinfectant residuals in tap water
- Mineral film on dishware and fixtures in post-war homes
- Microplastics and heavy metals in municipal drinking supply

Where Your Water Comes From
Scarborough's Water Source & Treatment
Understanding where Scarborough's water comes from and how it's treated helps you make informed decisions about your home's water quality.
Scarborough's municipal water is drawn from Lake Ontario and treated at the F.J. Horgan Water Treatment Plant, located in Scarborough's eastern waterfront. The Horgan plant is Toronto's newest treatment facility, using conventional coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, and rapid sand filtration followed by chloramine disinfection. Treated water is distributed through Scarborough's network of reservoirs and pumping stations, serving communities from the lakeshore bluffs to Steeles Avenue. Scarborough's post-war housing stock means many homes have original galvanized or lead service connections that can contribute to water quality concerns at the tap.
