Projects

The City of Victor, in partnership with the Snavely Group, are working towards the creation of a 90-unit workforce housing development.

There is a dedicated Workforce Housing page created to provide all of the public materials, steps of the process, and progress of construction in one place.

The Courier website will provide up to date leasing information.

More details and documents and updates are available on the Wastewater Treatment Facility's Project Page.

Victor Secures Its Future: City Council Approves Independent Wastewater Treatment Facility 

The Victor City Council approved plans to build the city's own wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), a decision that marks a significant step toward long-term infrastructure independence and fiscal responsibility for our community. 

A Time-Sensitive Decision 

This important decision comes in response to a Department of Justice lawsuit against the City of Driggs regarding its wastewater treatment facility. With strict deadlines in place, Victor faced a critical choice: continue sending our wastewater to Driggs' new facility as a customer with limited input and no cost control, or establish our own treatment capabilities. 

After thorough analysis and careful deliberation, the City Council determined that building our own facility best serves the long-term interests of Victor residents. 

Benefits for Victor Residents 

The new Victor wastewater treatment plant will provide several important advantages: 

Financial Control: Our own facility will protect residents from unpredictable rate increases that would be beyond our control as customers of another city's system. 

Taxpayer Protection: While the initial investment is substantial, the long-term financial outlook shows greater stability and predictability for our municipal budget and your utility bills. 

Growth on Our Terms: As Victor continues to develop, having our own infrastructure ensures that our infrastructure matches our needs. 

Local Decision-Making: All aspects of the facility—from design to operations to future expansions—will be determined by Victor, for Victor. 

Next Steps 

As this project moves forward, the City is committed to keeping residents informed and involved. Keep an eye out for opportunities for public engagement during the design and implementation phases. 

Residents with questions about the new wastewater treatment plant are encouraged to contact City Hall during normal business hours. 

Project Completed.

The City of Victor is preparing to re-bid an important restoration project at Brookside Park to repair damage caused by this year's spring runoff.

What Happened?

The 2025 spring runoff caused significant damage to Trail Creek at Brookside Park, resulting in channel avulsion (when a stream suddenly shifts its course), erosion, and sediment deposition. Restoration work is needed to protect the park and surrounding areas before next spring's runoff.

Project Scope

The restoration work includes constructing an avulsion plug to redirect the creek back to its intended channel, installing rock toe and ramp structures for stability, building deflector jams and floodplain log jams to manage water flow, and planting brush trenches with dormant cuttings to stabilize the banks. The project also includes comprehensive erosion control measures, site reclamation, and seeding.

A portion of the work extends onto private property, with the property owner planning to use the City's contractor for that section.

Next Steps

The City initially sought bids in early October but did not receive any responses. We are now preparing to re-bid the project with the goal of securing a qualified contractor who can complete the work before the 2026 spring runoff season.

Stay Tuned:

We'll announce the new bidding timeline and details in the coming weeks. Interested contractors or those with questions about the project can contact Troy Butzlaff, Special and Capital Project Manager, at (714) 745-5615 or victorcityadmin@victoridaho.gov .

This restoration project is crucial for protecting Brookside Park and ensuring it remains a safe and beautiful community space for everyone to enjoy!
