• Temple Terrace water overhaul could mean major rate increase (tampabay28.com) — Temple Terrace is weighing a $73 million overhaul of its aging water plant to remove PFAS chemicals, a move that could raise water bills by about 35% as soon as next year. City leaders favor a new nanofiltration system over connecting to Hillsborough County's water, and are debating whether to phase in rate hikes to ease the impact on families and seniors.
   

• Safety in focus as students return to University of South Florida (wfla.com) — As USF students return to campus, police are stepping up visibility, opening a new hub in the Marshall Student Center, and expanding self-defense training to keep students safer. A promoted safety app also connects users with nearby agencies, including Temple Terrace police, encouraging students to think about personal security both on and off campus.
