Water Heater Replacement in South Hill: what is different here
Many South Hill homes may still have the water heater that came with the house in the 1980s to 2000s, and those tanks are aging out. Because South Hill is unincorporated, check with Pierce County Planning and Public Works about permits. From our base it is about 15 minutes via SR 512 and Meridian.
