Older Homes Near the Capitol and Wells Out of Town
Olympia is the state capital, and many older homes sit in South Capitol, the Eastside and the Westside near downtown. Houses built before about 1960 often have clay or cast iron sewer lines and galvanized steel supply pipe. Mature trees and wet winters put old sewer joints under stress.
LOTT Clean Water Alliance treats the area's wastewater. In most cases you own the side sewer from your house to the public main. Well water is common in rural Thurston County and can carry iron, manganese or hardness. For work that needs city sign-off, check with the City of Olympia.
