Quality
engineering work and public service were the criteria that won Keith Anderson
induction to the Idaho Engineering Hall of Fame. His selection was made by
consensus of the Idaho Society of Professional Engineers (ISPE). This
peer-nominated honor recognizes outstanding contributions to the profession and
national or international achievement in the practice of engineering. Anderson's
engineering career spans some 60 years, beginning with the state and federal
governments. He founded Anderson & Kelly Consulting Engineers and served as
president. He later served as vice president of James M. Montgomery Consulting
Engineers. Anderson is still active as a senior consultant to Montgomery Watson
Harza in Boise. Anderson's many technical and professional achievements include
the large-scale development of geothermal energy for space heating in Boise and
project management of the water supply construction of the Clearwater National
Fish Hatchery north of Orofino. He designed the Bell Rapids Mutual Irrigation
Company that supplied water to 25,000 acres of undeveloped federal land in one
of the first "high-lift" irrigation projects along the Snake River in Southern
Idaho. Anderson also served as a member of the Boise City Council and as
Chairman of the Snake River Technical Advisory Committee, to which he was
appointed by Governor John Evans. He also served on the Advisory Committee to
the Board of Directors of the Boise Philharmonic Association.
