A Message From Vice Mayor O’Brien

It’s that time of year when we brace ourselves for months of triple digit temperatures. If you’re looking for outdoor activities, I hope you’ll consider Phoenix public pools. Deer Valley and Paradise Valley pools offer swimming lessons, aqua fit classes, and water slides.

I know that summer can sometimes send us into hibernation mode, staying indoors with air conditioning, but Phoenix pools are a great way to cool off, stay in shape, and spend quality time with family and friends. You can check your pool’s hours or sign up for swimming lessons or classes at www.phoenix.gov/pools

Quick Tip From Kristen at On-Target Floor Care

Unlike many companies, we never upcharge for stain removal, pet hair extraction, or deodorizer. It’s all part of our service because a “clean” without those extras just isn’t clean. It makes all the difference when you have a reliable expert in your corner.

Don’t get scammed by floor cleaners, schedule with On-Target here

Quick Home Tip From Rapid Rooter Plumbing

This month’s important plumbing tip brought to you from Chad and Jessica Librizzi at Rapid Rooter Plumbing.

Know where your main shut-off valve is located. It can save you thousands in damage during a plumbing emergency. If a pipe bursts, shutting off the water quickly can minimize flooding and protect your home.

Quick Dental Tip From Birk Family Dentistry

Don’t wait for pain to visit the dentist. Catching small cavities early can often prevent fillings, root canals, or implants later. Prevention saves both teeth and money. The ADA recommends 2–4 cleanings per year, depending on your gum health.
