## Resource

Boise’s big new recycled water plant is on hold after ballooning costs threatened to double water rates—so the city’s pausing that plan indefinitely. Instead, they’re upgrading existing facilities, starting with a major second phase at the 75-year-old Lander Water Renewal Facility. Public Works Director Steve Burgos says the goal is to keep water affordable while protecting the river. The Lander upgrades are set to finish by 2029, and if all goes well, Boise may revisit the new plant idea later—just not at the expense of the community’s wallet.
