Water main break in Tacoma causes discolored tap water for some

TACOMA, Wash. — Some people’s tap water in Tacoma is discolored Tuesday after a large water main break.

Tacoma Public Utilities says it was caused by a contractor performing work near the intersection of South Tacoma Way and South M Street overnight.

It’s since been repaired, but some customers may see discoloration in their water for a few more hours.

A boil water notice was issued for two customers very near the break.

Discoloration is not expected to have any water quality concerns
