About Hyatt Hidden Lakes
Former Boise City Council President, Maryanne Jordan and officials from the Ada County Highway District (ACHD) were joined by members of the Hyatt family for a ribbon cutting ceremony Sept 18, 2012. A generous donation of the 22-acre wetland by the Hyatt family made it possible for the city to purchase another 22 acres in the late 1990s with the goal of preserving open space and providing key habitat for wildlife in West Boise. An adjacent 10-acre parcel was also acquired completing the 53-acre site.
In December 2008, the city of Boise's Public Works Department received a $1.3 million EPA grant to create an innovative stormwater treatment pilot project at the site. Since then, Public Works staff members have been gathering water quality data and developing a plan for treating urban stormwater runoff and re-using the treated stormwater in the existing wetland and wildlife sanctuary.
The project demonstrates appropriate methods for decentralized stormwater treatment using sand filtration technology in addition to construction of vehicle parking with porous materials that mimic natural hydrologic conditions.
For more information about the project, please contact Boise Public Works, or phone at (208) 608-7171.
