Q30 I don’t like the wording of the release, so I plan to alter the language and send it in to Pulte/Del Webb. Is there a problem with that?

If we receive a release in which the language has been altered, or additional language has been added by the homeowner, it will be disregarded and you will not be deemed to have accepted the release and you will not receive a check.

If you have previously submitted a release which you altered in some fashion, that release will not be accepted. However, if you still wish to accept the offer you may do so by submitting a properly signed, unaltered release. To obtain another copy of the release, send a letter requesting a new form to:

Q40 At what point does the Kitec system begin in homes at Sun City Anthem? Is it inside the home (the garage) or where the home’s main water line connects near the street?

After consulting with individuals that constructed homes at Sun City Anthem from 1999 through mid-2003 (when the Kitec system was installed here), it is our understanding that polybutylene piping (“black poly”) was used to deliver water from the street into the house. When the drywall inside the garage of one home was cut open recently in order to make Kitec repairs, Pulte/Del Webb employees observed polybutylene piping ("black poly") as the piping used to deliver water directly into the home.

We are aware of some homes at Sun City Anthem where the water service line enters the home at a different location. In these cases, the line from the street is “black poly”, but it terminates inside a vault just short of the house. Inside the vault, the “black poly” feeds into a standard pressure reducing valve and gate valve. From the valves to the house, workers have identified that Kitec piping was used to transport water. In these cases when repairs have been made, the Kitec piping from the vault to the house has been replaced with Wirsbo piping.
