Formed in 1947 Kenmore's first water district commissioner was Frank Telquist who was president of the Kenmore Community Club at that time. It was the first step in bringing the necessary services needed to make Kenmore a city.
In 1979, Northeast Lake Washington Sewer District merged with the water district and the combined districts were known as Northeast Lake Washington Sewer and Water District. The utility was renamed Northshore Utility District in 1991. In October 1998, the District moved to its present location at 6830 NE 185th Street, in Kenmore, Washington.
Today, the Northshore Utility District now serves more than 85,000 people in the City of Kenmore, and parts of the cities of Bothell, Lake Forest Park, Kirkland and Woodinville. The department maintains more than 22,000 water and sewer service connections. District infrastructure includes 281 miles of water mains, 261 miles of sewer conveyance pipes, 11 lift stations, 3 water pump stations, 11 building structures, 8 storage tanks with a combined capacity of 29 million gallons.
The District is also an active local municipal partner for emergency management services and provides fleet services for Northshore/Shoreline Fire Departments and the cities of Kenmore and Lake Forest Park.
This is a great way for your kids to learn what goes into making a functioning city and the services it provides in fun and informal setting. Bring the kids and a dish to share and join your neighbors for this informative discussion.
Come with questions and leave with a new appreciation for what make Kenmore a great place to live.
