Residents of the Links neighborhood in Oro Valley are voicing concerns over dust problems at the Conquistador Golf Course, which runs through their community. The dust is not only an eyesore but also poses potential health hazards.Neighbors are particularly worried about the dust stirred up by monsoon winds, which they say can become hazardous. 'When the storms come, the dust really gets to a level that is quite concerning,' said Mike Zinkin, a 26-year resident of Oro Valley.

According to the Arizona Department of Health, dust can negatively impact respiratory systems, particularly in children and older adults. 'Valley fever is because it lives in the soil,' said Chris Kruetz, who lives next to Zinkin.He echoed Zinkin’s sentiments while expressing that they support the town’s efforts to reduce irrigation costs and conserve water.
