• **New Developments in Lake Havasu City's Water Management: What You Need to Know** (fsu.edu) — Lake Havasu City officials are rolling out a comprehensive water conservation strategy that directly affects how residents use water at home and in new construction. From mandatory high-efficiency fixtures in new builds to rebates, smart irrigation, and campus education programs, the city aims to cut median water use 15% by 2025 and expand storage and reuse to secure a sustainable supply.
• Swaim gets probation, jail in Havasu drug case (thestandardnewspaper.online) — A Lake Havasu City man received seven years of probation and 270 days in jail after police found cocaine, firearms, and other drugs during a May traffic stop and home search. The Mohave County judge called it a close decision but emphasized the large quantity of drugs, while the defense highlighted the defendant's steady job, clean prior record, and commitment to treatment.
• The Largest Lakes In The Desert Southwest (worldatlas.com) — Lake Havasu and Lake Havasu City feature prominently in this guide to the Desert Southwest's largest lakes, which explains how Parker Dam holds the reservoir just south of town and feeds major water projects.
