Tacoma Water sent roughly 1,700 letters out to homes and businesses that may have lead goosenecks earlier this week.
"Mailing letters was a good first step," said Tacoma Public Utilities Deputy Superintendent Chris McMeen in a press release Friday. "Going door-to-door will help ensure notification for customers who have not have received or read the letter."
A crew of 20 began around 9 a.m. on Saturday.
The utility crews finished once everyone on the list had been notified.
