Alderwood Service Line Replacement Project

The District is in the engineering/design phase of a District side service line replacement program.  The Alderwood System has historically higher than average water loss due to aging galvanized service lines (the pipe that connects the water main to the water meter).

This work will include replacement of any services that have not already been replaced by District staff and may include limited replacements of some sections of water mains that have shown signs of continuing leakage.  This work will also include relocation of any meters which were positioned on private property and they will be moved onto the County road right of way.

For the next 7 – 8 weeks, there will be surveyors on site preparing for this project.  They will be moving throughout the Alderwood System and may need to access up to the meter box on private properties that have not had the meter box relocated onto the right of way. 

Thank you for your patience as the surveyors move about the system.  Please contact the District if you have any concerns.

The most common source of household water leaks is the toilet

..and since the toilet is also the largest user of household water, you will save water and money by repairing a leaking toilet as soon as possible.

Follow these easy steps to test your toilet today.

1. Carefully lift the lid on the toilet tank (behind the toilet bowl) and place a few drops of food coloring in the water.
2. Do not flush the toilet for at least 15 minutes.
3. If any of the dye shows up in the bowl before flushing, you likely have a bad flapper and you are losing a significant amount of water between flushes.

To learn about the care and repair of toilets, check into an online class at Toiletology 101. Be amazed at how easy and expensive this do-it-yourself project really is.

 S Disconnection: If payment is still not received by the 19th of the month (following the termination notice) the water meter may be locked and the $50 fee charged on the 20th.
