Glendale Officer Saves Dog
A Glendale police officer came to the rescue after multiple people called 911 for help saving a little white dog who fell into the canal near 77th Lane and Georgia Avenue according to a video officials posted on Facebook.
People held flashlights on the dog while the officer removed his equipment and shoes to prepare to jump into the water. A woman could be heard crying on the video, until finally the officer could be heard say "I got it! I got it!" before jumping into the water and retrieving the dog and returning it to its "thankful" owner.

Safety First!
Look Left, Right, then Left
Back to school means kids, cars, and more kids. Kids with electronics and other distractions. Drivers with their own distractions including dropping off kids at school and daycare. Distracted driving AND distracted pedestrians are a dangerous mix that can be made worse by a change in travel habits for Back to School. So this season, minimize all distractions and maintain focus on driving by:
- Utilizing tech features like "Do Not Disturb" or hands-free calling.
- Planning your route and having music or podcasts cued up in advance.
- Encouraging friends and family to join you in practicing safe driving habits.

The Glendale Water Services Department is expanding our water rebate program thanks to a $450,000 grant from the Water Infrastructure Finance Authority (WIFA).

Residents in existing homes can receive up to $3,000 for xeriscape conversions ($1 per square foot) and up to $250 for artificial grass (25 cents per square foot). Residents in new homes can also receive up to $500 for xeriscape (50 cents per square foot) and up to $250 for artificial grass ($0.25 per square foot).
