• Water Woes in Fuquay-Varina (indyweek.com) — Fuquay-Varina officials are pursuing a major interbasin transfer to secure enough drinking water for the town’s rapid growth, but downstream communities worry it could worsen drought impacts and water quality. State regulators are weighing the proposal after a contentious Raleigh hearing where Eastern North Carolina stakeholders urged rejection, while the town argues its modeling shows minimal environmental impact and protects local ratepayers.
   

• Fire damages restaurant at Aviator Brewing Company in Fuquay-Varina (abc11.com) — A fire damaged the Morning Hangar breakfast restaurant at the Aviator Entertainment Complex in Fuquay-Varina on Monday, but no injuries were reported and damage was limited to the building’s front.
