What kind of community do we want to be in 10 years? One that relies on a broken system and hopes for the best—or one that takes responsibility for its future? That’s the question behind Victor’s decision to build our own Class A wastewater treatment facility. 

For two decades, we’ve sent our wastewater 10 miles north to a plant that has struggled with repeated failures, permit violations, and now a full rebuild just to meet the bare minimum. We’ve paid nearly half of their improvement costs, and even then, we were overbilled. After all that, the system is still polluting our water. 

Victor deserves better. Building our own Class A facility means we stop relying on a broken system and start doing things right. This isn’t about growth—it’s about responsibility. It’s about clean water, protecting our environment, and ensuring we have dependable infrastructure for decades to come. 

We’ve already engaged one of the most qualified engineering teams in the region and are working closely with the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality to make sure this facility meets the highest standards. As the design moves forward, residents will have opportunities to learn more and share input. This is a big step toward a reliable, locally managed solution that reflects our community’s values. 

We’re moving quickly, but we’re not cutting corners. By using a construction method that allows design and planning to happen in parallel, we can stay on schedule without sacrificing quality. We expect to close on the land next month and could see early site work this summer. Our engineers believe the plant could be online within three years—a few months ahead of Driggs’ January 1, 2029 deadline for independence. 

And yes, we’ve done our homework on costs. The $35 million estimate isn’t just a guess—it’s based on detailed engineering work, real pricing from suppliers, and includes a conservative 20% contingency. We even rounded up for good measure. On top of that, our delivery method gives us a Guaranteed Maximum Price, so we have strong cost controls in place. This is essential infrastructure, and we’re committed to doing it right and responsibly. 

This isn’t about personalities or politics—it’s about infrastructure and responsibility. Driggs has been a partner for decades, and we appreciate that relationship. But the reality is their system has struggled for years, and now both cities need solutions that work. Building our own facility isn’t a disagreement—it’s a decision to protect our water, our environment, and our future. I invite every resident to stay engaged, ask questions, and share input as we move forward. Together, we’re building something that will serve our community for generations.  

Op-Ed: Why Building Our Own Wastewater Facility Is the Right Move for Victor

The City of Victor is moving forward with plans to construct an independent wastewater treatment facility to ensure reliable service for residents and meet all regulatory obligations. This step follows a decision by the Victor City Council in March 2025 to pursue separation from Driggs’ treatment facility.

Before implementing this plan, Victor formally invited the City of Driggs to participate in mediation aimed at achieving an equitable and sustainable resolution to issues with the shared wastewater system issues that have become increasingly evident in recent years.

Victor’s priorities have consistently included preserving a regional solution where possible and ensuring fairness for Victor ratepayers—whether through a revised cost-sharing structure, a customer agreement, or an alternative governance framework.

The decision to re-engage through mediation reflected the Council’s belief that public input deserves more than acknowledgment—it requires action, including renewed efforts to seek a fair and collaborative resolution. Mediation was conducted under standard confidentiality provisions, which are common practice to allow candid discussion and create space for compromise. Despite these efforts, the process did not produce a viable path forward.

Accordingly, Victor has begun planning for independent wastewater infrastructure to meet legal obligations and provide reliable service to residents.

Council remains committed to transparency, environmental stewardship, and constructive engagement with our residents and neighbors. To that end, the City has engaged an engineering firm with the stated intent of building a Class A facility, ensuring treated water will meet or exceed the highest standards.

We encourage residents to stay engaged as planning moves forward. Watch for invitations to open houses, public forums, and other opportunities to learn more about the project and help shape its development. Together, we can deliver a facility that reflects community priorities and serves Victor for generations to come.

Public Notice for Planning & Zoning Commission

The portion of the S. Agate pathway currently marked in red has been closed due to the construction of new apartment buildings and the necessary realignment of the pathway itself. This closure is temporary but essential for both construction worker and public safety during the active building phase.

Ahead of issuing the building permit, we worked with the developer to maintain connectivity for pedestrians and cyclists during this construction period:

All pathways shown in green on the construction map will remain open throughout the duration of the development

The Baseline pathway may experience partial closures during construction, but will be kept open before and after school hours to ensure students can safely access the school and park areas

Alternative routes remain available via the green-marked pathways

The positioning of the construction fencing was determined by safety requirements and the scope of work needed for both the apartment construction and pathway realignment. We recognize this is an important transportation route for the community, particularly for families and students and intend to reopen that section of pathway as soon as it is safe and reasonable to do so. Additionally, there will be future improvements to the crosswalk as part of the pathway realignment project.

Thank you for your patience and understanding in the meantime.
