ALERTS

Customers Beware!

Summit Water was notified of an attempt by an individual to solicit the sale of a water meter and services for the installation of this meter to one of the Company's customers. Please note that the water meter, box and service line from the water meter to the water main are the property of Summit Water and as such are maintained by the Company. The Company does not employ individuals to solicit sales door to door. If you are approached by individuals attempting to sell you products or services as stated above please contact us at 253-537-7781 prior to authorizing or paying for the product/services. Please give us a call for further information. A description of the sales persons and / or license number of the vehicle(s) would be very helpful too.

A man driving a small red car wears an orange vest goes up to doors and tries to open them. If he is caught he tells the property owner he is from Summit Water and trying to locate a water line. He is believed to have robbed several houses all around us. Be aware that Summit Water will not approach your home to find a water valve, they already know where the valves are. The license plate is not known at this time.
