Northeast Sammamish Water District’s drinking water was again named the best tasting drinking water in King County for the third year in a row by a panel of water experts at the recent American Water Works Association annual event.

“We take tremendous pride in the fact that our water resource is pristine and that we give our customers the best drinking water possible,” said Don Newton, president of the district’s board of commissioners. “We are committed to providing our customers with the highest quality drinking water along with outstanding customer service at a reasonable price.”

The district’s drinking water has won numerous taste contests locally and was recently named the best tasting water in the Pacific Northwest as well as the second best tasting water in the country.

The district was formed by a vote of local citizens in 1969 and has been operating independently for the past 45 years. It is governed by an elected 3-member board and serve around 10,000 people.
