IDAHO FALLS — The new Idaho Falls water tower has been quietly doing its job for just over a month, but hardly anyone has seen inside the structure – until now.
The modern tower holds 1 million gallons of water, double the capacity of the old tower. It was designed to support city growth and includes heating, ventilation, and color-changing lighting capabilities that can illuminate the city skyline in everything from red, white and blue to bright pink.
To give EastIdahoNews.com a look inside, Idaho Falls Mayor Lisa Burtenshaw met up with reporter Nate Eaton. She didn’t just volunteer to climb all 160 steps to the top – she challenged him to a race!
