What We Do

The City of Boise’s Water Services preserves and protects our water. From cleaning 10 billion gallons of used water from our homes and businesses every year, to long-term planning for our city’s growth and climate resilience, Water Services keeps our water clean, safe and flowing for generations to come.

The Future of Boise's Water

Water Services manages over $2 billion in infrastructure, including five facilities and over 1,000 miles of underground pipe, making it the largest asset the city owns. Some of our infrastructure is nearing 100 years old and needs to be replaced, expanded or upgraded to meet the needs of our growing community. We’re updating our water renewal infrastructure so that we can continue to provide reliable services and keep Boise clean, safe and healthy.
