New Restaurant in Bliss
After nearly seven decades of serving hungry travelers and the locals around Bliss, the Oxbow Cafe closed its doors last year, leaving the community without a place to sit down for dinner. Last Wednesday, the building became a second home for a popular restaurant in Hagerman... Los Potrillos. Los Potrillos Mexican Restaurant opened in Hagerman in February of 2020, and has been serving all your favorite lunch and dinner dishes, including appetizers, burritos, street style tacos, and desserts. The Bliss location has the same menu as well as a bar (for those who are thirsty). For now, the Bliss restaurant will be open Tuesday thru Saturday from 11a.m. to 8 p.m. Phone number for togo orders in Bliss is 208-352-1092. The Hagerman location will be open Monday (11 to 7:30), Tue Thur Fri (11 to 3). This phone number is 208-837-6682.

Richfield Receives Wastewater Grant
The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) has announced awards to seven drinking water and wastewater systems to help the facilities evaluate system deficiencies and determine necessary upgrades. Funding made possible through Governor Brad Little’s Leading Idaho plan. “Families, farmers, ranchers, and all Idaho residents rely on clean, efficient water and wastewater systems. These systems are not only a crucial part of our way of life, but our economy as well. Funding for these projects from my Leading Idaho plan aims to ensure that Idaho residents – especially those in our rural communities – can depend on our water and wastewater infrastructure for generations to come,” said Idaho Governor Brad Little. The City of Richfield in Lincoln County was awarded $47,500 to prepare a wastewater planning study to evaluate the current wastewater system and identify needed improvements. The total project cost is $95,000, and the remaining $47,500 will be funded by the city. DEQ’s Planning grants cover up to 50% of eligible planning costs, with the remaining cost is the grant recipient’s responsibility.
