Mini Split Air Conditioning Survey
MVP is exploring the potential demand of Mini-Split Air Conditioners in preparation for EV system and electrical upgrades. Your valuable feedback on this matter is crucial, as it directly impacts the design of the PV system to handle peak summer demand. Reach out to the board if you have questions, and please take a moment to share your thoughts through our survey:

Electrical Vehicles and Public Charging Survey
We wanted to again solicit owner feedback on the prospect of having EV chargers, either in public stalls or in residents’ stalls. The demand within our community (and appetite for paying for these amenities) has an effect on the design of our PV systems and electrical infrastructure. If you are thinking of buying an EV in the next few years let us know below!

Jacuzzi Updates
Our jacuzzi replacement and pool deck re-painting is scheduled to begin on Feb 12th. These will continue for a couple of months and begin with the Ala Mahiku jacuzzi and pool. Kiana will still be operational so we look forward to seeing you there!
Don’t feed the animals – increases in fines coming soon!
In the spirit of Aloha, we kindly remind everyone to refrain from feeding stray cats, chickens and peacocks on our shared property. Not only is it a violation of our bylaws, but it also risks the health of our community, not to mention possible citations and fines. Please respect your friends and neighbors, as our staff diligently works on capturing chickens and finding solutions for stray cats. If you observe someone feeding the animals, report it to the front office, anonymously if preferred. Unfortunately, this is becoming a greater and greater issue and we will soon be increasing the fines for this behaviour. Together, let’s ensure the health and cleanliness of our beloved community!
Mahalo for being part of the MVP community! Your cooperation and engagement contribute to making Makaha Valley Plantation a wonderful place to call home.
Mahalo from the MVP Board of Directors
