Reading the atlas
Aurora grew outward from the old village at Yonge and Wellington. The heritage core has the oldest plumbing, the 1960s and 1970s neighbourhoods west of Yonge have original copper and cast iron reaching middle age, and the subdivisions east toward Bayview and Leslie are newer, with PVC drains, sump pits and often backwater valves.
Beyond the town line, the picture changes again. King Township and much of Whitchurch-Stouffville include rural homes on private wells and septic systems, while Newmarket and Richmond Hill look much like Aurora at a larger scale.
