North City Water District is committed to keeping our customers connected to essential services during extreme heat events. When such an event is imminent, customers who are on the shut off list or whose water service has already been shut off must contact the District to request reconnection.

Background

In April 2023, a new state law was passed that specifically addresses utility shut offs during extreme heat events (ESHB1329). In accordance with this new law, residential customers of North City Water District who are on the shut off list or whose water service has already been shut off may request the District reconnect their water service for the duration of an extreme heat event.

How to Identify an Extreme Heat Event

The new state law has granted the National Weather Service the authority to identify what is classified as an extreme heat event. You can find their daily and near-future determinations by clicking here >
