Water Line Replacement in Tacoma: what is different here
Tacoma Water serves the city, but the buried line from the meter to your house is usually yours. In older North End and Proctor homes, that line may be galvanized steel. From our base near Midland and Summit we cover the whole city, often replacing the line through two small access holes.

The water line is the buried pipe from the meter to your house. A repipe replaces the supply pipes inside the home. They are separate jobs with separate prices. If both are old, we can check them on one visit and explain which needs work first.
