Not currently. Few effective treatment alternatives exist. The most common method is filtration; but we do not currently filter our supply. Chemicals intended to keep these minerals invisible are available, but are not likely feasible in our larger water system. Tacoma Water is actively evaluating the need for installing a filter plant in the future. The seasonal presence of yellow water is one of many factors being discussed.
