Stormwater Community Outreach and Education Events
The Stormwater Division has been involved with many outreach and educational programs and events within our community. Every year we team up with the Watershed Watch program, sponsored by the City of Boise and The Watershed, to gather water quality data on the Boise River in September, teaching middle school students on field techniques for the collection of samples for water quality data.
We host educational events open to the public about stormwater best management practices for homeowners, HOA's, landscapers, developers, and others throughout our construction and residential communities that reside within the City of Caldwell's limits.
We partner with Engineering with a Mission LLC to host the Erosion and Sediment Controls Responsible Person Course to those in class on site of Treasure Valley for potential certifications or recertifications. We were invited to share a poster on a study we completed on tracing microbial sources in Indian Creek, during this permit term (2019-2024) to the annual Water Quality Workshop, led by IDEQ at Boise State this year (2025), to learn about water quality projects completed around Idaho and meet some water enthusiasts.

We also have been invited into classrooms to share the ins and outs of stormwater and how stormwater relates to our city's growth in the most recent years. The Stormwater Division has attended grade school, middle school, high school, and college classes to present on Stormwater to help introduce the youth and emerging professionals of today to the benefits of keeping rainwater the only water in our storm drain systems.
Contact us if you have any questions about any of these topics:
- How to become a Certified Responsible Person for your Construction Site
- Visit your school to talk about stormwater and water quality in the Lower Boise river and the City of Caldwell's effects on the river
