Bill > SCR119

This concurrent resolution formally recognizes the importance of and supports ongoing and future water projects within Water District 2, which covers a large, populated, and economically significant region of Idaho including Ada, Canyon, and Boise counties. The resolution highlights the critical need for reliable water management to support agriculture, urban growth, Mountain Home Air Force Base (MHAFB), and the Treasure Valley Aquifer System. It specifically endorses the Anderson Ranch Dam Raise Project to increase water storage, Treasure Valley Managed Aquifer Recharge initiatives to replenish groundwater, and the MHAFB water treatment plant and pipeline project for national security and economic benefits. Additionally, it supports improvements to aging infrastructure like the Last Chance Canal Company and Ridenbaugh Canal, as well as modernization efforts by the Boise City Canal Company and Water District 63, all of which are deemed vital for ensuring water security, supporting economic development, and maintaining agricultural productivity amidst population growth and aging infrastructure.
