*Mesa Officially Renames Mesa Grande Cultural Park*

We are pleased to announce the official renaming of Mesa Grande Cultural Park to reflect our region's rich cultural heritage and profound connection to the O'odham (AWE-thumb) and Piipaash (Pee-PAHSH) peoples and their ancestors. The name given to the site is Sce:dagi Mu:val Vaaki. In the Oodham language, it means Blue Fly's place of dwelling or Blue Fly's house. Sce:dagi Mu:val Va'aki, pronounced CHUH-dag MOO-vahl VAH-kee, comes from a series of songs originating at the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community, located only about one mile from the ancestral site. *Read More > [ https://mesanow.org/news/public/article/3408?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery ]*

Fall into Safety: Enjoy the Season with Care!

family fun

As the days get shorter and the temperatures cool, it’s the perfect time to dive into your favorite fall activities! But remember, safety comes first when using your gas appliances and equipment!


* Always follow the manufacturer's instructions.
* Watch for Carbon Monoxide: Install and test CO detectors regularly. Remember, CO is invisible and odorless but can be dangerous.
* Mind the Smell of Rotten Eggs: This odor could indicate a gas leak. If detected, leave the area immediately and call 911 and 480-644-4277 to report it.
* Outdoor Fun: Check gas connections for your grill and ensure it’s in a well-ventilated area.
* Protect your gas meter from vehicular damage.
* Educate the Family: Review natural gas safety together. Create a safety plan.
