What We Do

Manage Water Supply: North City Water District is focused on nothing but water, 365 days a year. We monitor its quality, maintain its distribution infrastructure, establish infrastructure requirements for new developments, and work with the local community on everything from planning and permitting, to updated appliances. Maintain Infrastructure: We continuously monitor the condition

of all pipes, pump stations, supply stations, and reservoirs, replacing older or undersized pipes and adding new pipes and related infrastructure as needed. When emergencies arise (such as a broken water main), we’re the ones to call to get the job handled. Sponsor Community Events: North City Water District enjoys being a part of our community’s traditions and events, including sponsoring the annual Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony, participating in Celebrate Shoreline Parade and related functions, and co-sponsoring the annual car show at the District office each summer. Provide Education: Wherever possible, we seek to provide the community with information about water-related topics that make a difference – ranging from water conservation methods such as energy efficient appliances and low flow toilets, to helpful home repairs and winterization advice. Encourage Conservation: North City Water District actively promotes water conservation, offering ideas, advice and discount programs on new appliances, toilets, or irrigation systems. As a result, our region uses less water today than the early 1960s, even though population has grown by more than 60% during this same time.

Doing laundry is the fourth highest use of water in most homes. And because most washing machines use hot water, saving water also saves energy.

If your washer or dishwasher doesn’t have an Energy Star label, it may be time to replace it. A new Energy Star washer uses one third as much water as an older model; a new Energy Star dishwasher uses less than half as much water compared to washing dishes by hand, and can save up to 1,000 gallons of water per year.
