The February 2024 newsletter highlighted various upcoming changes and events for Sandia Heights residents. The newsletter featured information about the Annual Meeting, including the agenda, a call for questions, and discussions on topics such as universal membership, damage assessments, bylaws updates, and website improvements. There was also a focus on the SHHA Contractor Evaluation Program, warning against fraudulent contractors and encouraging residents to make use of the available resources before hiring. Additionally, the newsletter mentioned outdoor lighting regulations, special community events organized by the Community Service & Membership Committee, and practical advice from Sandia Peak Utility Company on shutting off water supplies in case of leaks or maintenance, in conjunction with the intelligent water meter installations.

Homeowners are reminded of their responsibility to locate and maintain their own independent shutoff valves to prevent leaks on their property. Sandia Peak Utility Company emphasizes the importance of knowing the mainline shutoff valve's location and exercising it periodically to prevent water damage and conserve water. Additionally, the document discusses regulations regarding outdoor lighting to minimize light pollution, including requirements for shielded aimable fixtures with light and motion sensors, as per the North Albuquerque Acres and Sandia Heights Light Pollution Ordinance of BernCo Code.
