After 47 mainline breaks in the past year, the Nampa City Council voted 4-3 to pass a 10% water utility rate increase to remedy the city’s aging plumbing. The City Council also approved a 5% rate increase for irrigation with a 5-1 vote.
According to a press release from Nampa Mayor Debbie Kling, the revenue from the rate increases will be used to replace over 50 miles of pipe that is more than 50 years old.
