According to a recent press release, the City of Boise is working on a geothermal pipe in the area as a part of its larger effort to replace aging geothermal lines in downtown with updated, "leak-resistant pipes." Since 1983, a Geothermal system has served as the main source of heating for downtown Boise, but in recent years, that system has required various repairs and updates.
