Why University Place Homeowners Choose Whole-Home Filtration
Many University Place homes are served by Tacoma Water, whose supply comes mainly from the Green River watershed. Other areas are served by different local systems, so confirm your provider by address.
City water is treated and tested, and the disinfectant is what most people taste. It can leave water smelling like a pool, which is the top reason neighbors ask about carbon filtration.
Plumbing from before 1986 may include lead solder or fixtures, so a water test is a good first step. For drinking and cooking, many homeowners add reverse osmosis at the kitchen tap.
