Utilities and side sewers in Kirkland
Kirkland (about 97,400 residents, Census 2025 estimate) runs its own water and sewer utility, but the city notes that some residents get water and sewer from another agency: Northshore Utility District (water and sewer, 425-398-4400) or Woodinville Water District (water, 425-487-4100).
Kirkland Public Works has an emergency line that the city lists as answered every day of the year, 425-587-3900. The city is clear that maintaining the lateral, or side sewer, up to the city-owned main is the homeowner's responsibility. Permits: 425-587-3600.
