Frequently Asked Questions about ZIP 98059 Tap Water

What's in ZIP 98059 tap water?

ZIP 98059 has 2 detected contaminants below EPA limits in this dataset. 8:2 FTS measured closest to its guideline.

Will boiling ZIP 98059 tap water remove 8:2 FTS?

Boiling tap water can kill many pathogens, but it does not remove most chemical contaminants tracked in EPA monitoring. Several dissolved contaminants can even concentrate as water evaporates. For the chemical contaminants reported in ZIP 98059, a certified filter is more reliable.

Do basic pitcher filters remove 8:2 FTS?

Basic pitcher filters are typically rated for chlorine, taste, and odor (NSF/ANSI 42), not for the broader list of contaminants tracked in EPA monitoring. Match the certification (NSF/ANSI 42, 53, 58, or P473) to the specific compounds listed in this report before assuming a filter helps.

Who provides tap water in ZIP 98059?

Public records identify KING COUNTY WATER DISTRICT NO 90 as a primary water system associated with ZIP 98059. Service boundaries can vary by address, so confirm exact service with the utility.

When was ZIP 98059 tap water last tested?

The most recent test date used in this report is June 2025. EnviroClarity last refreshed this page on 2026-05-04.

Where can I find the official water quality report for ZIP 98059?

Every U.S. public water system is required to publish an annual Consumer Confidence Report (CCR). Contact KING COUNTY WATER DISTRICT NO 90 or visit their website for the latest official report covering ZIP 98059. The EPA also maintains a national CCR locator.
