Longer runs out toward Sandy Hook doesn't improve with age, and till under the village grid doesn't get gentler. One continuous line, tested and bedded, is how we close the story in Suquamish.

Larger lots off Totten Road near Old Man House Park, poly along Totten Road below, clay seams along Agate Pass around it: that's the Suquamish version of water line replacement, and water surfacing downhill of the break is the usual first clue.

Restoration is part of water line replacement near Old Man House Park and everywhere else on larger lots off Totten Road: lawn regraded, gravel raked, beds rebuilt, pavers reset over clay seams along Agate Pass. When we leave, the only evidence is that the water works.
