Let’s Talk Lights
There are so many kinds of bulbs these days, and with the rise of efficient and powerful LED technology, outdoor lighting can easily become too bright—especially in a community like ours that values dark skies.
Per ALC Guideline 3.21 – Exterior Lighting:
“Quail Creek has been established as a Low Ambient Lighting Zone in line with local Dark Sky ordinances and restrictions … Continuous illumination of exterior lights, front, side or rear, except for low voltage landscape lighting, is prohibited. Motion controlled lighting shall not be permitted.”
A typical frosted, 30-watt, incandescent bulb emits about 282 lumens—a helpful reference point for choosing softer lighting for your outdoor fixtures.
Let’s all do our part to preserve our beautiful desert skies by choosing bulbs that are low in lumens and shielded to direct light downward.
Pool Season Reminders
It’s a great time to enjoy your backyard pool or spa! If you need to drain or flush your system, please follow Town of Sahuarita regulations:
Do not drain water into the street, storm drains, or common areas.
All water must be drained into your property’s sewer cleanout, usually located in your front yard.
