Plumbing in Arlington
Downtown Arlington sits on a bluff above the confluence of the Stillaguamish River and its North and South forks, on a glacial terrace 100 to 200 feet above sea level. Newer growth includes Gleneagle, with more than 1,000 homes, and Smokey Point near I-5, beside the 4,000-acre Cascade Industrial Center shared with Marysville. Western Regional Climate Center records put the average January low at 29.9°F.
The city runs its own water system. In 2025, 78% of its water came from the Haller well field, which draws Stillaguamish River water through the riverbank, 9% from a deep-aquifer well at the airport and 13% from Snohomish County PUD. Arlington found no lead pipes in its mains or its nearly 6,000 city-side service lines, but 977 customer-side lines are still classified as unknown material.

Local know-how
What's hard on plumbing in Arlington.
Identify your service line
Arlington lists 977 customer-side service lines, the pipe from the meter to the house, as unknown material, and asks owners who know theirs to report it. We can identify what your line is made of and replace it if it's failing.
Polybutylene-era homes
41% of Arlington homes were built from 1980 to 1999, and polybutylene supply pipe was installed from roughly 1978 to 1995. If you find gray plastic supply lines, have them checked before they fail; we repipe with PEX or copper.
Below-freezing January nights
Arlington's January nights average about 30°F. Before cold snaps, disconnect hoses, cover outdoor faucets, insulate pipes in crawlspaces and garages and find your main shutoff. If a pipe bursts anyway, our emergency line answers 24/7.

Good questions
Arlington plumbing FAQ.
Don't see your question? Call or text (425) 845-3535. A real person answers, 24/7.
Is Arlington's water hard?
Mostly not. About 78% of Arlington's 2025 water came from the Haller well field, which measured 23 to 44 ppm of hardness, soft on the USGS scale. The airport well, 9% of supply, ran 80 to 96 ppm, which is moderately hard, and 13% came from Snohomish County PUD. Homes along Burn Road, 186th Street NE and several avenues get PUD water before it blends with city well water.
Who fixes a water leak in Arlington, the city or me?
It depends on where the leak is. Arlington's water report says city crews investigate and repair leaks at the meter box and in the street. For a leak inside the house, you need a plumber, though the city will send a specialist to shut off the water at the meter if needed; call Public Works at 360-403-3526. We fix in-home leaks, and our emergency line answers 24/7.
