SatisFacts Maintenance Survey!


We value your feedback! After each each work order is completed, you will receive a short 5-question survey to rate the technician's service - we always aim for 5-star satisfaction!



If something wasn't addressed or you have concerns, please don't wait for the survey - reach out to us right away. We're here to help and want to make it right as soon as possible!

Disposal Safety Reminders


As summer celebrations continue, help us protect our workers and first responders by following these guidelines:




  • Batteries: should NOT be placed in curbside containers – ever! They easily ignite and explode when compacted in the truck.


  • Empty Propane Tanks: should never go in the trash or recycling. Take empty tanks back to stores to be refilled.


  • Charcoal Embers and Fireworks should be thoroughly soaked in water prior to placing them in the garbage. Never throw away unused fireworks—contact your local fire department for proper disposal.


  • Pool Chemicals are highly reactive, generate extreme temperatures and release toxic vapors if improperly handled or stored. Don’t place pool chemicals in the trash or recycling. Contact your solid waste district for disposal options.

The Woods - Upcoming Driveway Repaving Project


We’re pleased to announce that driveway repaving has begun in The Woods! This project is being completed by Vandalia Blacktop, a trusted PWF-contracted vendor, and is part of our ongoing efforts to improve both safety and curb appeal in the neighborhood.


What to Expect:


In preparation for paving, you may see PWF staff and contractors in the area performing the following tasks:


  • Removing tree roots
  • Relocating or removing downspouts that may interfere with the repaving process



Before work begins in your driveway:


  • Each resident will be notified individually.



Important Parking Notice:

Once the work begins in your driveway:


  • You will not be able to park in your driveway or garage for approximately 4 to 5 days
  • Temporary "No Parking" zones will be posted and updated daily - please ensure your vehicle is not parked in these areas during active construction. Please refrain from parking in any driveways that are currently under construction or in cul-de-sacs.


We appreciate your patience and cooperation. During this time, some residents may need to temporarily park near or in front of your home. Your understanding is greatly appreciated.


Accessibility Needs:


If someone in your household has mobility needs or requires driveway access, please contact the maintenance office once you receive your phase notification letter. We'll make every effort to accommodate you.


Thank you for your support as we work to improve and beautify your community!


Gas Line Replacement Project for Legacy Homes


We're excited to continue progress on the Gas Line Replacement Project, which brings important infrastructure upgrades to your neighborhood. This multi-phase project includes the removal of patio fencing, installation of new gas lines to each home, followed by construction of new privacy fencing around every patio.


However, we want to acknowledge that the project has encountered significant delays due to unstable weather conditions, the discovery of deteriorated sheds requiring unexpected repairs, and a severely delayed lumber order critical to replacing fencing.


Gas Line Replacement - Temporary Gas Outage


As part of the ongoing Gas Line Replacement Project, CenterPoint Energy will be installing new gas lines to your home. This work will require temporary gas service interruptions on the following dates:


What to expect:


  • Work begins at approximately 8:00 AM, and gas service to your home will be temporary shut off.
  • Starting at 3:30 PM, technicians will need access to your home to begin restoring service, performing safety checks, and relighting pilot lights.
  • An adult (18 or older) must be at home at that time to allow access.
  • If no one is available, gas service will not be restored until the next business

day.


The gas line replacement project is anticipated to continue through October 2025. We will provide updates and scheduling details for your specific area as they become available.


Thank you for your continued patience and cooperation as we work to enhance and improve your community!

Courtyard Sign Lighting Upgrades - Prairies Legacy


A PWF-contracted vendor will soon begin upgrading the lighting on the courtyard address signs for the Legacy housing neighborhoods. A licensed electrician will be on-site to complete the rewiring and installation of the new fixtures.


For your safety, please use caution when passing by the work areas near the courtyard signs.


Thank you for your awareness and cooperation as we enhance your community!

Infrastructure Upgrades in The Woods


Great News! American Water and Associated Hydro are nearing completion of their important upgrades to the water infrastructure in The Woods!



As the project wraps up, please be aware that traffic control measures will be in place, and some areas may continue to have limited access. Normal traffic flow will resume once the work is complete.


We sincerely appreciate your patience and cooperation as these vital improvements are completed to strengthen and modernize the neighborhood's infrastructure.

For safety reasons, the playground located at Longstreet and Vandorn Lanes is temporarily closed and will remain inaccessible until further notice.


WPAFB has begun construction in the area, extending from the entrance of Longstreet Lane to the existing green fence. This work will include the installation of temporary fencing, and contractors will require access to the backyards of homes along this route.


In the coming weeks, base personnel or affiliated contractors will conduct site investigations of the storm sewer system in your neighborhood as a result of recently discovered soil erosion. As a precaution, fencing has been installed in specific areas and signage placed for the safety of residents. Monitoring of the system will continue, and additional fencing will be installed as needed to ensure resident safety.


We understand this may cause some inconvenience and sincerely appreciate your patience and cooperation as this essential safety project is completed.
