1. Park City explores thermal technology as energy efficiency tool (kpcw.org) — Park City is drilling a 500‑foot test bore near Kearns Boulevard and Bonanza Drive to see if a thermal energy network could efficiently heat and cool multiple local buildings. City facilities like the police station and City Hall already use geothermal, and officials will take results from this new Bonanza Park test to the Park City Council this fall to weigh broader adoption and long‑term cost savings.
   

2. Utah's record monsoonal rains drench northern mountains, reservoirs remain low (kpcw.org) — Park City’s library weather station logged a record 2.5 inches of rain in July, the most since measurements began in 1993. Northern Utah’s mountains saw well‑above‑normal monsoon rainfall, improving soil moisture and lowering fire risk, but statewide reservoirs remain only about 54% full, well below last year’s levels and still a concern for water supplies.
