From the counter
Different municipality, different rules
Thornhill falls under York Region municipalities, not the City of Toronto. Permit offices, water billing and any subsidy programs differ from Toronto. If you are applying for a program, check with your own city.
Homes of the 70s and 80s
Copper supply and ABS drains are typical. Original fixtures, stop valves and water heaters are often due. Replacing them before they fail avoids most emergency calls.
Crossing the line
Your water bill, permit office and any rebate program come from Vaughan or Markham, and which one depends on your side of Yonge. The plumbing itself is the same Ontario code. We confirm the municipal details that apply before any permit-related work starts.
