We're just days away from the first Buc-ee's opening in Arizona! 🦫

ADEQ completed it's first inspection over a year ago, and now inspectors have officially completed the final walkthrough ahead of opening day.

The final inspection checks out what's happening under all those fuel pumps. ⛽ To keep the community and environment safe, inspectors ran full diagnostics on the massive underground storage tanks systems.

Here is how the facility passes ADEQ's final inspection:

✅ Inspectors verified the spill prevention system is installed on all UST systems.
✅ Inspectors tested the overfill prevention equipment to ensure they properly function.
✅ Inspectors ensured all monitoring equipment is installed perfectly to manufacturer specifications and industry standards.

Everything is officially functioning properly, compliant, and ready for the opening day crowds!

It’s Waste and Recycling Workers Week, and we want to clear up a major myth: recycling isn't just done by magic machines. Real people sort through your items by hand! 👋♻️

The incredible workers at our local sorting facilities are the first line of defense in giving materials a second life. When the wrong items end up in the bin (like plastic bags, tanglers, or hazardous waste), it puts these workers in danger and can cause entire loads to be sent to the landfill.

The best way to say "thank you" this week?!? Know before you throw ➡️ bit.ly/AZrecyclinglocator

The heat is officially here, and Arizonans are ready to cool off ☀️

But before you pack your towels and cooler, do you know which local lakes are actually safe for swimming?

We’ve got the full breakdown for you right here: bit.ly/AZSwimmingLakes

Because water conditions can change fast due to weather, crowds, or wildlife, keep these quick safety tips in mind:
🛑 Always verify your destination for closures, health advisories, or fire restrictions.
🏊 Stay aware! Many Arizona lakes do not have designated swim areas or lifeguards.
📱 Help protect our water: Report algae blooms, trash, or water issues using the Arizona Water Watch App at azdeq.gov/AZWaterApp.
