Drinking Water Monitoring Violation
Twin Falls missed some required drinking water testing steps, so the city has been flagged for a monitoring violation. It’s not an emergency, but officials are expected to explain what happens next to get testing and compliance back on track.
Rock Creek Watershed restoration
The city adopted a plan to clean up Rock Creek and the Snake River using $5 million in federal funding secured through Congressman Simpson's office. Projects include stormwater biofiltration, agricultural treatment wetlands, and riverbank stabilization, which also help the city meet upcoming stormwater permit requirements.
