Project Update (June 2020)
The Spring 2020 public comment period regarding Phase I of the process (site selection) is now closed. Thank you for being part of the process!
On May 18, 2020, Idaho Falls City Council reviewed public comments regarding three potential sites for the new tower. City Council concurred with staff recommendations to move forward with constructing the new water tower at Site 1, located in South Capital Park. (See links above for information about Site 1.)
