University Place
What is different about a University Place job
The city writes the permit per heater. University Place issues its own plumbing permit for a water heater replacement, with the fee counted per heater and per vent. Where a permit is required, it is a separate item on the quote.
The water is Tacoma Water's up to the meter and yours after it. A leak in the meter box or in the street is the utility's; a leak between the meter and the house is plumbing. The quickest way to tell: every tap off, and the small dial on the meter should sit still. If it turns, the leak is on the house side.

Questions University Place homeowners ask
Do you work in University Place?
Yes. University Place and the towns around it, Fircrest included, are in the service area, with the same license, bond and insurance as in Tacoma.
Do I need a permit to replace a water heater in University Place?
Yes. The City of University Place issues the plumbing permit, with the fee set per water heater and per vent. Where a permit is required, it is a separate item on the quote.
How do I know if a leak is on my side of the meter?
Turn every tap in the house off and look at the meter. If the small dial keeps moving, water is leaving the pipes on the house side, and that is plumbing. If it sits still and there is still water in the meter box or the street, the leak is on Tacoma Water's side.
A pipe burst. What do I do before you get here?
Close the main shutoff where the line enters the house, or at the meter box if there is no valve inside, then open a low tap to drain the pressure. Turn off the breaker for any outlet or light the water is reaching. Move what is under the leak, and keep the section in sight so the spot is easy to point to.
