Stone Horizontal DividerThe Critters of Sundance Mesa
To live in the desert, certian species have developed specific physical characteristics and behaviors appropriate to the environment. In particular, most are able to conserve water while some avoid activity during the heat of the day.  Some even aestivate (i.e. spend the summer and dry months in a state of torpor).  Click here for information about some of the most noteworthy critters seen in the high desert areas of Sundance Mesa.

Our Water Cooperative
The La Mesa Water Cooperative was established to supply water to both Sundance Mesa and its neighbor La Mesa.  The Coop regularly sends newsletters to its members to keep them informed about important issues.  Since water here in the desert is a critical commodity, use water responsibly to avoid increases in monthly bills by checking for leaks.  Periodically turn off all water in the house and check the reading on the water meter canister at the beginning and end of a period of time.  If the meter reading has changed, there is a leak somewhere that needs to be dealt with promptly.  Visit the La Mesa Water Cooperative website for more information and contacts.
