TTC's Use of Video Recordings on Wheel-Trans Vehicles for Reassessing Customer's Eligibility

The City of Toronto has received complaints from Toronto residents who have been approached by companies offering door-to-door water tests or requesting water samples with the aim of selling water-related products.

The City is aware of these companies and does not endorse or sponsor private water testing or any related products or services. Residents should be aware that, in Ontario, only fully accredited laboratories are licensed to perform health-based tests on drinking water. Water quality tests take approximately 24 to 48 hours to process.

Dear Friends,

Yesterday Chief Bill Blair delivered very troubling news about an ongoing police investigation of Mayor Rob Ford. Like most Torontonians, I was deeply shocked and disappointed by these revelations.
