Garrity Blvd Water Main Rupture | Boise News
Description
A major water main burst on Garrity Boulevard in Nampa, creating a sinkhole and shutting down traffic near the interstate. The city sprang into action, approving $2 million from its fund balance to fix the 16-inch pipe — with initial repair costs estimated between $1.5 and $2 million. Thankfully, the water remains safe to drink, no boil advisory needed. Road closures are expected for several days, possibly through Friday, though an exact reopening date isn’t set. A lucky coincidence? The Idaho DOT was already scheduled to work nearby this weekend — and the same contractor will help speed up repairs. The pipe, installed just two years ago, is under investigation for the rupture’s cause.
