Service Areas

Oshawa stretches from the Lake Ontario shoreline north into newer residential communities. Requests are welcome from all parts of the city, including:

• Downtown Oshawa and the surrounding older neighbourhoods
• Lakeview and the lakeshore area
• Central neighbourhoods such as McLaughlin, Pinecrest and Samac
• North Oshawa, including Taunton and Windfields

Does location change the plumbing?

Housing age varies across the city, and that can affect what you're likely to encounter. Older homes may have galvanized supply lines, cast iron drains or older sewer laterals — see common plumbing problems in older homes. Newer homes more often have PEX supply lines and sump pumps tied to weeping tile — see sump pump maintenance.

Wherever you are, the same Region of Durham water and sewer services and City of Oshawa permit process apply.

Outside Oshawa?

This site focuses on Oshawa. You're welcome to read the guides, but we can't promise we can help with requests from outside the city.
