1. Arvada City Council considers increase for water, stormwater and sewer rates (arvadapress.com) — Arvada City Council is weighing 2027 increases to water, wastewater and stormwater bills that could raise typical monthly costs by about $10–$12 to fund major infrastructure projects. Councilmembers favor the fully funded option but stress conservation, with formal readings and a public hearing on the rate changes scheduled for October.
2. Engelhardt Cruises to Western Victory (coloradogolf.org) — Arvada's own Greg Pattison captured the Senior Division title at Ironbridge Golf Club, overcoming a rough middle round to win by five strokes. The Glenwood Springs event also highlighted strong showings from golfers across Colorado, but Pattison's steady opening and closing rounds secured the top spot and gave Arvada a champion performance to cheer for.

'Misery' takes the stage at the Arvada Center (arvadapress.com) — Stephen King's "Misery" opens at the Arvada Center on Sept. 4, launching the 2026–27 theater season with a tense, small-cast thriller running through Oct. 11. Actress Jacque Wilke promises a more empathetic, human take on Annie Wilkes, with unique staging touches created specifically for this Arvada production.
