 Dog Days of Summer
The dog days of summer have arrived. Mesa Animal Control is reminding residents that temperatures inside a car can increase by 20 degrees in just 10 minutes! It is too hot to leave your dog in a car, even with windows cracked. If the weather is warm, leave your animals at home. Call 911 if you see an animal locked in a vehicle. Learn more about Mesa Animal Control.

How Much Water Does Your Household Use?
There is no shortage at the tap, but we still need to save every drop. A great first step is to understand your current water usage. Log into the My Utility Account portal or look at your paper bill to see how much you use. Next, find out how much water you SHOULD use. Visit our Home Water Calculator, input information about your home and landscape and we’ll get you an estimate of monthly usage. These numbers provide a household water budget and ensure that you are using water responsibly. For more tips, visit mesaaz.gov/conservation.
