Alberta will test all government buildings for lead and copper in drinking water to ensure safety amid aging pipes.
The Alberta government announced on January 14, 2026, that it will test drinking water for lead and copper in all provincially owned buildings, including government offices, courthouses, and youth centres, to address aging plumbing and ensure public safety.
The province issued a request for bids to private companies to conduct comprehensive testing and recommend fixes, marking a shift from previous case-by-case assessments.
The move follows health concerns over lead exposure, particularly in children, and recent findings of elevated lead levels in Yellowknife.
Alberta officials said any issues identified will be addressed immediately, with the goal of maintaining safe drinking water across all government facilities.
