Plumbing in Mill Creek
Mill Creek started as Washington's first modern planned city. Tokyu Land Development bought the project in 1973, work on the golf course and country club began in early 1975, and the first homes were under construction by 1976. The original plat east of SR 527 holds 21 subdivisions named for trees; the city later annexed part of Murphy's Corner and, in 2005, the Thomas Lake area. The center of town sits between protected wetlands along North Creek and Penny Creek.
Water and sewer come from Alderwood Water & Wastewater District or Silver Lake Water & Sewer District, depending on the street, and both deliver Everett's Spada Lake water. Silver Lake, which serves more than 19,000 homes and businesses, reports that all asbestos pipe in its water system was replaced before 1991, and its original sewer collection system dates to 1970 and 1971. Wastewater goes to the Brightwater plant near Maltby or to Everett for treatment.

Local know-how
What's hard on plumbing in Mill Creek.
Check for polybutylene supply pipe
Nearly half of Mill Creek's homes were built from 1980 to 1999. Polybutylene supply pipe went into homes from roughly 1978 to 1995, so if yours dates from then, Beaver's can confirm the material and quote a PEX or copper repipe.
Plan ahead for water heaters
About 38% of Mill Creek homes were built since 2000, and tank water heaters typically last 8 to 12 years, so an original unit may be near the end. Beaver's repairs and replaces tank and tankless heaters, gas or electric, with a written price first.
Two districts, two phone numbers
Mill Creek is split between Alderwood Water & Wastewater District (425-743-4605) and Silver Lake Water & Sewer District (425-337-3647), and your bill shows which one serves you. For a leak or clog inside the house, Beaver's emergency line answers 24/7.

Good questions
Mill Creek plumbing FAQ.
Don't see your question? Call or text (425) 845-3535. A real person answers, 24/7.
Is Mill Creek's water hard?
No. Both Alderwood and Silver Lake deliver Everett's Spada Lake water, which averaged 12.5 mg/L of total hardness in 2025, soft on the USGS scale, and Everett adds soda ash to make it less corrosive. Silver Lake buys most of its supply through the Clearview Water Supply Agency. Most Mill Creek homes have no need for a water softener.
Are there lead water service lines in Mill Creek?
None were found. Alderwood Water & Wastewater District and Silver Lake Water & Sewer District both completed the EPA-required service line inventory in 2024 and reported no lead service lines, and Silver Lake customers can look up their own line on the district's inventory map. Lead-containing pipe has been banned since 1986, with fittings and fixtures added in 1996. Beaver's can swap older faucets for current lead-free models.
