Lake Tuck: Precautionary Boil Water Advisory
Lake Tuck Water System, ID #44965N, King County
Posted 8/9/2025 7:08 p.m.
PRECAUTIONARY BOIL STILL ACTIVE — WATER SERVICE RESTORED
Crews have completed the additional repairs to the water main, and water service is being restored. However, the precautionary boil notice is still active.
After water service has been restored to your home, but before using water inside, please run your outside faucet until the water is clear. This is to prevent any discolored water from entering your faucets and fixtures and to evacuate air from your service line.
Bring all tap water to a rolling boil for one minute. Let it cool before using. You should use boiled water (or bottled water) for drinking, preparing food, making ice, brushing teeth and washing dishes by hand. Tap water is safe for showering, bathing, and for other household uses, including washing dishes in the dishwasher as long as the heat/sanitizing cycle and commercial dishwashing detergent are used.
Follow-up bacteriological samples will be collected and tested to confirm that water quality was not affected. We expect to receive sample results from the lab by Monday, August 11, 2025. We will notify you when you no longer need to boil your water.
If you choose to purchase bottled water during this advisory, you may submit your receipt for reimbursement and a credit will be applied to your account. Please mail your receipt to our office at PO Box 336, Gig Harbor, WA 98335. Be sure to include your account number and address on the receipt.
Again, we apologize for the inconvenience. Protecting your health and safety is our highest priority. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call our Customer Service Center. We can be reached toll free at (877) 408-4060 or by email at [email protected].

ADDITIONAL REPAIRS NEEDED, WATER SERVICE RESTORATION DELAYED
As crews completed the water main leak repair tonight and were restoring water service, additional leaks surfaced. We must mobilize additional crews for further repairs and will be unable to restore water service tonight. When repairs are completed, which we expect to be tomorrow, please be sure to follow the precautionary boil water advisory issued earlier this evening.
We apologize for this inconvenience and thank you for your patience. If you need to purchase bottled water during this time, please save your receipts for reimbursement. Instructions for reimbursement are detailed below.

PRECAUTIONARY BOIL WATER NOTICE
Washington Water Service is advising approximately the 22 customers near 230th Avenue Northeast (map of affected customers below) served by our Lake Tuck Water System in King County to use boiled tap water or bottled water for drinking or cooking until further notice. We are advising you to take this precautionary measure due to a water main leak that our crew is repairing. This has the potential to affect water quality. Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms that may have been introduced into the water.
After water service has been restored to your home, but before using water inside, please run your outside faucet until the water is clear. This is to prevent any discolored water from entering your faucets and fixtures and to evacuate air from your service line.
Bring all tap water to a rolling boil for one minute. Let it cool before using. You should use boiled water (or bottled water) for drinking, preparing food, making ice, brushing teeth and washing dishes by hand. Tap water is safe for showering, bathing, and for other household uses, including washing dishes in the dishwasher as long as the heat/sanitizing cycle and commercial dishwashing detergent are used.
Our crew is on site completing repairs. Chlorine will be used to sanitize all new plumbing parts and materials. Once repairs are complete and water service has been restored, the area will be flushed and follow-up bacteriological samples will be collected and tested to confirm that water quality was not affected. We expect to receive sample results from the lab by Monday, August 11, 2025. We will notify you when you no longer need to boil your water.
