• Let ABC15 Know: Valley veteran waits 23 days for AC repair, now she's calling for protections for homeowners (abc15.com) — A Peoria Navy veteran says she endured 23 days without air conditioning in triple-digit heat while her home warranty company cycled through contractors, prompting her to push for new state protections for homeowners. Her case, resolved only after ABC15 intervened, highlights that renters have clear repair deadlines in extreme heat while homeowners with warranties do not, and explains how Peoria residents can file complaints with state regulators. 
• Water use in Arizona depends on more than the desert heat - Sun City West Independent (yourvalley.net) — Peoria households are using roughly 120 to 140 gallons of water per person per day, putting the city in the middle of Arizona's residential water-use range. The piece explains how lot size, landscaping, and pools drive those numbers, and highlights how cities like Chandler and Tucson have cut per-person use, offering ideas Peoria residents can apply at home.
