The station, located in the main lobby, provides free access to filtered water, encouraging residents and visitors to stay hydrated and reduce their plastic waste. “We’re excited to offer this new amenity to our community,” said Boise Mayor Lauren McLean. “Water is essential for our health and well-being, and this hydration station makes it easy for everyone to stay hydrated while they’re downtown.” The hydration station features touchless, push-button dispensers that deliver cold, filtered water. It also displays water usage data in real-time, showcasing the sustainability benefits of the initiative. “By providing free water, we’re reducing the number of plastic bottles that end up in our landfills and waterways,” said Emily Bates, Boise’s sustainability coordinator. “This is a small step that can make a big difference in protecting our environment.” The hydration station has been warmly welcomed by Boise residents and visitors alike. “It’s so convenient to have free water available downtown,” said resident Maria Garcia. “I can now refill my water bottle instead of buying a plastic bottle, which is better for my health and the planet.” “As a tourist, it’s great to have access to clean water while I’m exploring the city,” said out-of-town visitor Sarah Jones. “It’s a thoughtful gesture that shows that Boise cares about the well-being of its guests.” The hydration station is part of a larger effort by the city of Boise to promote water conservation and reduce plastic waste. Other initiatives include water conservation rebates, rain barrels, and educational campaigns. “We want to create a city where it’s easy to make sustainable choices,” said Mayor McLean. “By providing free hydration stations, we’re making it a little bit easier for everyone to do their part in protecting our environment.”
