Good morning, this is your Bend Local Frequency for Tuesday, May 6th, 2025.

The City of Bend's Water Services Department has just released their 2024 Water Quality Consumer Confidence Report. The good news is that our city continues to maintain high-quality drinking water that meets all federal and state standards. Residents can now access this report to review detailed information about our water sources and quality testing results.

Art lovers should head over to St. Charles Medical Center Gallery where contemporary realist artist David Kreitzer's new exhibition titled "HEALING WATERS" is currently on display. This show opened a few days ago and offers a perfect opportunity to experience how art can contribute to healing environments.

For baseball fans, the Intermountain Conference season is heating up with just six games remaining for each team. Ridgeview recently swept Bend High in an important series to stay in contention for the conference title. With the season winding down, every game becomes increasingly crucial for playoff positioning.

In educational news, the May school board elections are approaching quickly. The Source Weekly has recently published their endorsements, recommending Ross Tomlin for the Bend-La Pine Schools Board of Directors in Zone 6. Local voters should research all candidates as these positions significantly impact our education system.

Outdoor enthusiasts will be pleased to know that planning for wildlife crossing improvements continues in our region. The Oregon legislature recently passed a bill to improve coordination between state agencies for wildlife crossing construction, which should help reduce animal-vehicle collisions on our highways.

Looking ahead to this weekend, cycling fans can get excited as one of Central Oregon's favorite bike races returns to downtown Bend as a one-day criterium. This event promises to bring energy and excitement to the heart of our city.

For those planning to travel around town this week, be sure to check the City of Bend's weekly road and traffic report for May 5-11 to avoid any construction delays or road closures that might affect your commute.

This has been Bend Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
