Lead Service Connections
is testing at the tap. The City of Regina has two testing programs to test tap water in your home -
the Random Testing Study Program and the In-Home Point of Use
Testing. Random Testing is conducted to assess lead levels in homes built before 1960 and
properties found in areas that are known to have lead water service connections. Water Testing
Request Form City staff will test and collect water samples from the house for analysis. They will
also determine the internal plumbing material inside the house, where the water service line enters
the house and what, if any, water treatments are in the home. Testing takes about an hour. The bulk
of the time is due to a 30-minute stagnation period where no water can run in the house. All
program participants will be provided with results for their home. Contact us if you are interested
in participating. Random Testing Study Program In-Home Point of Use
Testing allows individual residents to have their water tested for lead. Since you cannot see,
taste, or smell lead dissolved in water, testing is the only sure way of telling whether there is
lead in your drinking water. All building owners within Regina city limits are eligible to
participate in free lead testing where: The building was constructed prior to 1960 and is in a
neighbourhood where other lead lines are present. Records indicate that the building is served by a
known public lead service line. The public lead service line was replaced in the last five years.
There are incomplete records for the public service line material (i.e. material unknown), the
building was constructed prior to 1960 and the building is in a neighbourhood that has public lead
service lines present elsewhere within the neighbourhood. Results are sent from the laboratory
directly to the individual homeowner. We also receive the results along with the invoice. The
results are not be posted or shared and will only be reported in an aggregated manner that prevents
the individual properties that participated from being identified. To receive testing forms and
bottles, first contact us to determine if you are eligible and provide the appropriate documents.
Eligible participants will receive a laboratory requisition form by mail. Complete the form and
take the form to the Roy Romanow Provincial Laboratory (RRPL) to obtain a sample kit. Use the kit
to conduct the sampling procedures and complete the sampling form. Return water sample, sample form
and laboratory requisition to the SDCL. In-Home Point of Use Testing
Lead Removal Water Filter Program If your building has a known lead service connection (City-owned
or private-side), or if water testing through the City's Lead Testing Program has shown lead levels

safe drinking water while awaiting lead pipe replacement. Choose the option that best meets your
needs: Request a filtered water pitcher and a one-year supply of filters from the City and have
them delivered right to your door. Water Filter Request Application Brita Pitcher and Elite Filters

One-time Reimbursement for Filter Installation You may be eligible for a one-time reimbursement of
up to $350 for the installation of an under-sink in-line water filter by a certified plumber. To be

screwed on to the tap on-counter unit that typically is plumbed to the tap below counter system
that usually requires the installation of a separate drinking water tap Most home stores and super centres have some type of filter system available that conforms
to the standard for lead reduction. The price of filters vary based on type and features. The
simplest and smallest pitcher-type system may cost anywhere from $20 to $100, while a complicated
and extensive below counter system may cost in the range of $1,000. You can apply for the filter
rebate, which is applied as a credit to your utility bill, by filling out and supplying the
application form. Water Filter Rebate The City is working to remove all lead service connections by
2036 to eliminate one key source of lead in drinking water. Replacements will be coordinated with
corporate construction projects. ...

Affordable Housing
Nearly 500 people were found to be experiencing some form of homelessness in Regina, according to
Regina's third
Point-in-Time (PiT) Count of Homelessness in
September 2021. In 2019, community stakeholders collaborated to develop Regina’s five-year Plan to
End Homelessness. This is Regina’s collaborative approach to ending homelessness. As the community
plan endorsed by City Council, selected by the Regina Homelessness Community Advisory Board, and
accepted by the federal Reaching Home program, it guides funding decisions and ensures alignment
between local priorities and federal investments. The Plan calls for, among other things,
significant investment in new supportive housing units with personalized, wraparound support
services to address the nuanced needs and circumstances of individuals and families experiencing
homelessness. Individuals who are successfully housed in permanent supportive housing no longer
access emergency shelters. Evaluation of existing Housing First programs in Regina has demonstrated
cost savings through a reduction in calls for service and interactions with law enforcement, as
well as lower rates of hospitalization. On April 14, 2021, City Council approved the creation of a
Permanent Supportive Housing Operating Grant program aligned with the Plan to End Homelessness to
fund the ongoing operation of permanent supportive housing. If you or someone you know is in an
emergency situation and don’t have enough money to meet basic needs, including shelter, call the
Provincial Client Service Centre at 1-866-221-5200 or your local income assistance service centre.
Homelessness
While the City supports the development of rental housing, the rules and practices of the
relationship between the tenant and landlord are governed by the Province of Saskatchewan through
the Residential Tenancies Act and the Residential Tenancies Regulations. Unsafe or Untidy Rental
Property Complaints The City has authority to enforce bylaws that pertain to the health, safety and
welfare of the community, including those that relate to the condition of rental properties. Yard
or exterior maintenance complaints can be made to Service Regina by calling 306-777-7000. A Bylaw
Enforcement Officer may order the property owner to conduct any necessary repairs, clean-up or
maintenance. Fire safety issues (e.g., problems with smoke alarms, exits, windows) are investigated
by Regina Fire and Protective Services. Tenants can make a complaint by calling 306-777-7830 and a
Fire Inspector will contact you to gather all relevant information. Action will not be taken on
anonymous requests or information based on hearsay. Public health concerns in rental housing (e.g.,
rodent/insect infestations, sewer back-ups, extensive mold) are investigated by the Regina Qu’A
ppelle Health Region (RQHR). Public health complaints can be submitted directly to RQHR. Additional
information and a complaint form can be found at RQHealth.ca. ...
