Northside Water Association

Welcome to Northside Water Users Association, Inc

In 1968, the Northside Water Users Association was created to help 150 households outside the boundaries of the city of Sandpoint jointly fund a water system. The members used a federal grant to build the system.

The City of Sandpoint annually sells about 18,000,000 gallons of water (as of 2019) to Northside Water Users Association. The city considers Syringa to be a “Wholesale” and charges Syringa water rates according to that class.

As of December 2024, the system had 172 billed users. New connections are available. The Capitalization Fee is $7,875.00. (That’s what it costs to buy into the system. A Capitalization Fee has been paid for by all the current and past water users since 1966.) Meter installation fees are additional depending on your properties proximity to the district water main.

Northside Water Users Association has been a vital part of our community since its early days. Established through the efforts of local landowners, the association traces its roots back to a pivotal meeting in August 1965, when the Northside Water District formalized its funding structure to support water infrastructure development. With initial funding from the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), Northside was built on a foundation of cooperation and a commitment to providing reliable water service. Today, we continue that legacy, ensuring safe and sustainable water access for our members.
