Dear Homeowner:

Approximately 5,300 homes built by Pulte/Del Webb in Las Vegas and delivered to homeowners between May 2002 and January 2006 were constructed using the REHAU brand plumbing system.

It is believed that characteristics of the local water supply in Las Vegas may cause damage to these systems over time.

Pulte/Del Webb plans to perform repairs to the plumbing systems of all 5,300 homes.

Pulte/Del Webb believes REHAU systems were installed in homes that were delivered to homeowners in the following communities with closing dates during these periods:

  • Sun City Anthem, June 1, 2003 to December 13, 2005… 2,142 homes;
  • Sun City Aliante, March 21, 2003 to September 29, 2005… 1,140 homes;
  • Club Aliante, January 10, 2005 to November 30, 2005… 180 homes;
  • Solera at Anthem, August 13, 2003 to January 9, 2006… 900 homes;
  • Vialetto, April 25, 2003 to March 15, 2005… 168 homes;
  • Serenata, May 27, 2003 to December 31, 2004… 147 homes;
  • Wyeth Ranch, December 16, 2002 to December 30, 2004… 137 homes; and
  • Anthem Country Club, May 1, 2002 to May 20, 2004… 506 homes.

In the next few weeks, Pulte/Del Webb will contact individual homeowners and begin making arrangements for repairs.  It is the Company’s intention to complete the work as expeditiously as possible, in order to minimize disruption to individual homeowners.

The Company is in the process of establishing a special website where you can learn more about the repair process and you can receive periodic updates.  Homeowners will receive a separate communication about the website, including URL and password, shortly.

Thank you,
