• Michigan gas prices setting records with fuel costs expected to rise further (fox2detroit.com) — Drivers in Southgate are among the few in Michigan seeing some of the cheapest gas prices right now, even as statewide averages surge past $4.50 a gallon. Analysts warn fuel costs could keep climbing due to global tensions, so tools like AAA and GasBuddy can help Southgate residents track the best local deals. 
• Downriver residents call for Wyandotte to switch drinking water source due to pollution near Detroit River intake (thenewsherald.com) — A Southgate resident joined other Downriver voices urging Wyandotte to consider switching its drinking water source away from a Detroit River intake located near long‑polluted BASF property. State regulators insist Wyandotte's water currently meets safety standards, but environmental advocates argue unknown contaminants and past system deficiencies justify connecting to Great Lakes Water Authority instead.
