📰 News we're reading

• Arizona's water providers are preparing today to protect our water tomorrow (azcapitoltimes.com) — Water from the Central Arizona Project runs right through Maricopa, and local residents are part of a statewide push to stretch shrinking Colorado River supplies. EPCOR and other utilities describe how they're banking water, diversifying sources, and urging everyday conservation so taps in communities like Maricopa stay reliable despite federal cuts through 2028.
