  • Remove any belongings on or around fences and sheds.
  • Unlock all gates and sheds to ensure our crews can access the work area.
  • Pick up pet waste and keep pets leashed until your new fence is in place.

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.

Improving your AC Efficiency


To ensure your air conditioning system runs efficiently during the summer heat, please follow these helpful tips:


  • Keep all vents open to allow for proper airflow throughout your home.
  • Use ceiling fans to help circulate cool air more effectively.
  • Leave bedroom doors open to promote even air distribution.


Additionally, remember to replace your furnace filter monthly. A clean filter helps your system run more efficiently and improves indoor air quality. You can pick up a free replacement filter at the Self-Help Store, just bring your used filter with you.

Gate 19B will be closed to outbound traffic from 23 June 2025 through 26 September 2025. During this period, it will be open for inbound traffic only from 0600 to 0900, Monday through Friday. The attached form below shows you the traffic flow of Gate 19B during this time.
