Burley Wastewater Plant Upgrades Secure Federal Support
The City of Burley, Idaho, has received federal funding to upgrade its industrial wastewater treatment plant. The project is designed to increase capacity and reliability to support local agricultural and manufacturing industries.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers included funding for the Burley project in its Fiscal Year 2026 Work Plan, as announced on May 21, 2026. The upgrades are authorized under the Water Resources Development Act of 2024.
Local officials noted that the plant supports significant economic activity in the Magic Valley region. Aging infrastructure and capacity constraints had previously limited the area's ability to attract new business investment.
The federal support will advance feasibility studies and implementation activities for the facility. By modernizing the plant, the city aims to ensure long-term environmental compliance and support the continued growth of its industrial base.
