Nampa says water remains usable after main rupture
NAMPA — The city of Nampa released a water notification because of a drop in pressure late morning on Wednesday, one day after a water main ruptured underneath Garrity Boulevard, just south of Interstate 84’s Exit 38. “The city of Nampa is committed to providing safe drinking water to all our customers,” the notification read. “City staff routinely monitor the city’s drinking water distribution system.” The drop in pressure — below 20 pounds per square inch — happened Tuesday afternoon after the water main line broke, which occurred at 12:59 p.m., according to John Spencer, the city’s director of water resources. While the water pressure dipped below 20 PSI, “it still maintained positive pressure, resulting in a low risk of any bacteriological contamination,” the notification states. “However, the city is required to notify customers within the affected area.” The city stated water users “may continue to use” their water.

Cottonwood Creek cuts ribbon on new behavioral health clinic in Meridian
MERIDIAN — Seven years after Cottonwood Creek Behavioral Hospital first began serving patients in Meridian, the mental health provider continues to spread its roots in the community with its new outpatient clinic. The facility, 1940 S. Bonito Way, Ste. 150, named Haven and located across the street from Cottonwood Creek’s inpatient location, celebrated the expansion with a ribbon-cutting Wednesday afternoon. “As mayor, sometimes these (ribbon-cuttings) are easier or harder to do, because of the type of service that’s offered and provided,” Mayor Robert Simison said at the ceremony. “Everyone can get really happy and excited about going to the newest, greatest restaurant. But then you have places like this come in, that give people help in their time of need.” While both adolescents and adults are served at the primary location, the new 3,900-square-foot suite will only serve adults. Haven is geared toward patients who need more support than weekly therapy sessions, but do not require inpatient treatment. Cottonwood Creek CEO Ernest Esparza said that plans for a second site had taken shape in January. “Over there we’re at capacity, inpatient and outpatient,” he said of the original facility. Haven’s amenities include four rooms for group programming, which plays a
