Your Community's Integrated Pest Management Program

As part of our commitment to environmental protection, resident safety, and pet welfare, Tierra Vista Communities at Peterson SFB wants to familiarize you with our Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program. Your community is on federal property, meaning the use of pesticides is regulated by federal law. The primary goal is to ensure effective pest control while minimizing environmental impact and reducing unnecessary exposure to pesticides for our residents, their families, and pets.

Here's what you can expect from our IPM program:

  • Preventive Strategies
  • Monitoring and Assessment
  • Non-Chemical Control Methods
  • Targeted Pesticide Application
  • Education and Awareness
There are several non-chemical pest management products available free of charge from your community self-help location including glue boards, traps, and bait stations. Click here to locate self-help in your community.

Click here to view the Integrated Pest Management FAQ

If you are experiencing increased pest activity in or around your home that you are unable to address with non-chemical control methods or over-the-counter pest products, please contact the MSC to schedule an appointment. Please reach out to your property management team with any questions or concerns regarding pest management in your community.

Utilities & EV Charging

Fast and Convenient Electrical Vehicle Charging

Centinel is excited to announce it has partnered with TRO Energy Solutions (TROES) as our “Level 2” electric vehicle (EV) charging partner. Residents have requested Level 2 EV charging because it’s safe, efficient, and much quicker than other charging alternatives. In fact, Level 2 charging can take as little as 5 to 6 hours to reach a full vehicle charge.

In contrast, Level 1 charging (plugging an EV directly into a regular, home electrical outlet) is slow, inefficient, and potentially unsafe - it can take 24 hours or longer to charge a vehicle. TROES will provide Level 2 charging options for residents with an affordable monthly subscription. Due to the nature of Level 1 charging, the Air Force has prohibited Level 1 charging at this installation.

For residents with electric vehicles interested in charging their vehicle at home, TROES will install, set up, and maintain your Level 2 charging station at no cost other than an affordable monthly subscription. There are NO out-of-pocket installation, setup or maintenance costs for residents that subscribe with TROES.

Residents interested in having a Level 2 charging station installed at their home can take the following steps to engage TROES directly:

  1. Visit https://troes.io to begin registration or click here.
  2. Select a ChargeTime plan that is right for you. This is a direct subscription between the resident and TROES.
  3. A TROES installation specialist will call you to coordinate the installation schedule.
  4. Once the EV charger is installed, you can conveniently manage usage, billing, scheduling and more through the ChargeTime app or by directly contacting TROES.

Environmental Resources

During your leasing process we provided a Mold 101 Guide that discusses prevention, identification, and the procedure for reporting concerns to your maintenance team. Please immediately notify the Maintenance Solution Center if you discover a leak or suspect water intrusion of any kind in your home. To revisit the guide for prevention and reporting tips, please click here.

Additionally, click here to revisit the EPA’s Lead Based Paint brochure provided with your lease packet.

Renters Insurance

Is renter's insurance mandatory?

Beginning December 15, 2023, renters insurance is required at time of move-in and must be maintained at all times during residency with Tierra Vista Communities at the expense of the resident. Renters insurance protects you from claims for property damage and physical injury caused by or to you, a member of your family or a guest while living in your home. The lease requires proof of insurance coverage meeting the minimum requirements with Tierra Vista Communities named as an interested party at time of move-in.

Minimum Required Insurance Coverage:

  • Limits of liability in an amount of at least $100,000 per occurrence

Tierra Vista Communities strongly recommends you add property insurance to cover losses or damage to your personal belongings or the personal belongings of your family or guests. Please keep in mind that Tierra Vista Communities will not cover the loss of or damage to your personal property or the personal property of your family members or guests.

You may choose any renters insurance provider. We offer ResidentShield to residents as an easy and affordable option for renters insurance. Visit www.residentshield.com/centinel for more information or to sign up today!

If you fail to obtain and maintain liability insurance as required by your lease, you will be in violation of your obligation under the lease. For more information, click here.
