Bill Ader, Oro Valley Resident, said that the other unattractive part of apartment living is
walking up a flight of stairs. Stairwells are exposed to the heat and sun, yet you see
apartments with no elevators. He is interested in the conservation, water

discussing this is not being fully responsible.
