Description
As Boise is in the high desert, water is increasingly a precious resource. In 2021 Boise voters approved a 20-year $570M bond for water renewal, including a major focus on recycling wastewater. We interview Director of Public Works, Steve Burgos, and Communications Manager Natalie Monro, about how the bond referendum was approved, and how they have engaged the public to generate acceptance for keeping water local.ResourcesCity of Boise Climate Action RoadmapTV spot and article: City of Boise partners with local breweries to make beer from recycled waterArticle: Boise voters overwhelmingly pass sewer bondWords on Water podcast: Haley Falconer on Sustainability in BoiseStruvite production from Water Renewal Process
