Water Conservation Efforts

Although the residents of Winterhaven are committed to maintaining the beautiful, lush look of the neighborhood, we also recognize that we live in a desert and that we share a common aquifer with our neighbors.  Consequently, Winterhaven's Board of Directors has undertaken a number of measures to ensure that Winterhaven uses this precious resource responsibly.  It has undertaken a systematic study of the water system, which culminated in a capital improvement plan. This plan includes, among other things, replacement of all the residential water meters and an upgrade of the data collection and analysis system.  It also includes a formal establishment of a water conservation program, chaired by a member of the Winterhaven board.  The centerpiece of this program is the systematic education and support of Winterhaven's residents so that we can keep our lawns green while being wise stewards of our water.

Winterhave also offers a $100.00 rebate on any energy-star certified washing machine purchased by a Winterhaven resident. Go to the Residents Only Page and click on documents to download a rebate form. Some rules do apply. 

Lend A Hand Program

Winterhaven is part of a coalition of central neighborhoods that train volunteers to provide a variety of assistance to seniors still living independently in their homes. The initial funding for this program came from a grant from the Southern Arizona Compassion Initiative through the Pima Council on Aging and the United Way. Recently United Way reported that the Lend A Hand Program is a model program for senior assitance in Tucson! Lend A Hand provides a variety of services such as errands, dog walking, friendly visits, house and yard work, and caregiver relief.  In the first year of the program, seven Winterhaven seniors were assisted in a variety of ways. To support this program, please consider volunteering a few hours a month to assist a Winterhaven senior. If interested in volunteering, contact Program Coordinator Michele Brubaker at319-5928.  Also please help support this program with your dollars. You may also go to www.lahseniorhelp.org for more information
