Just under a year ago, Nampa’s iconic water tower was dismantled. Built in the 1970s, the aging structure could no longer meet the needs of the rapidly growing city. A new 1.5-million-gallon tank is expected to supply Nampa’s water needs for the next 50 years.
“The tank is designed for the growth of our city moving forward,” said Nampa’s Director of Water Resources Jeff Barnes. “We’ve done a plan out to 2040 and this provides more than enough storage up to that point and beyond.”
