Federal Way
What is different about a Federal Way job
The permit comes from the city. Federal Way is in King County, but the county's public health department issues plumbing permits only for Seattle, Clyde Hill and unincorporated addresses. Inside Federal Way, the City of Federal Way Permit Center issues the plumbing permit for a water heater replacement. Where a permit is required, it is a separate item on the quote.
The meter marks the line. Most of Federal Way is served by Lakehaven Water and Sewer District. The district's pipe runs up to and including the meter; from the meter to the house, the pipe is yours. A wet patch between the sidewalk and the house is a call to a plumber; a wet patch at the meter box or in the street is a call to the district.

Questions Federal Way homeowners ask
Do you work in Federal Way?
Yes. Federal Way and the rest of South King County are in the service area, with the same license, bond and insurance as in Tacoma. Say the cross street when you call; it sets the route.
Who issues the permit for a water heater in Federal Way?
The City of Federal Way Permit Center. King County's public health department handles plumbing permits only in Seattle, Clyde Hill and the unincorporated county, so inside the city it is the city. Where a permit is required, it is a separate item on the quote.
My water bill jumped, but nothing is dripping. What now?
Two checks. First the meter: every tap off, and the small dial on the meter should sit still; if it turns, water is leaving the pipes somewhere. Second the toilets: a few drops of food coloring in the tank, wait without flushing, and color in the bowl means the flapper is letting water through. A running toilet is the usual answer to a bill that jumped.
Is a leak at the meter mine or the district's?
The district owns the line up to and including the meter; the house side of the meter is the homeowner's. Water in the meter box itself, or in the street, goes to Lakehaven. Water between the meter and the house is plumbing.
