Gas Line Replacement Project for Legacy Homes


Exciting news, Legacy Homes Residents! We're kicking off the Gas Line Replacement Project - bringing important upgrades to your community! There are multiple stages of the process and work will be conducted in the following order: First, fencing will be removed from the back patio areas. Next, work will begin to replace the gas lines to each home. Upon completion of the gas line installation, work will begin to install new privacy fencing around each patio!


Work is scheduled to begin Monday, 2 June (weather permitting), and crews will be working in the following order:



Fence removal will begin for: 

  • Bldg 6232 - 107, 109, 111, 113, 115, 117 Dickman
  • Bldg 6009 - 75, 77, 79, 81, 83, 85, 87, 89,91, 93, 95, 97, 99, 101 Dickman
  • Bldg 6008 - 59, 61, 63, 65, 67, 69 Dickman


Gas Line Replacement work will continue for:


  • Bldg 6029 - 169, 173, 175, 179 Trunk
  • Bldg 6030 - 181, 187, 189, 193, 195, 199 Trunk


Fence reconstruction will continue for (please remove lock off shed):


  • Bldg 6034 - 5688, 5692, 5694, 5698, 5700, 5704, 5706, & 5710 Hickam
  • Bldg 6031 - 137, 143 Trunk
  • Bldg 6032 - 145, 147, 151, 155 Trunk
  • Bldg 6028 - 157, 159, 163, 167 Trunk


As part of this project, rear fences will be temporarily removed so we can install brand new gas lines to each home. Don't worry - a fresh new fence will be installed once the work is complete!


Here's how you can help us keep things running smoothly:


  • Please clear your patios - store items inside your garage or shed.
  • Remove anything on or around fences and sheds.
  • Take off all locks from gates and sheds so our crews can access the area.
  • Pick up all pet waste and keep pets on a leash until your new fence is installed.
  • Watch your little ones while they are outside - there will be open areas and active digging.
  • And most importantly, please be mindful of workers to help keep everyone safe.


Thanks for your cooperation - we're excited to bring these upgrades to your neighborhood!

  • If no one is available, gas service will not be restored until the next business day.

The gas line replacement project is expected to last through October 2025. We will keep residents updated with details for your specific areas as they become available. Thank you for your cooperation as we improve your community!

Common Area - Hillside Mowing


PWF contracted vendors regularly mow the common areas. However, some hillside areas are only mowed 2–3 times per year to help prevent erosion. Deep-rooted plants and grasses play a vital role in stabilizing the soil and protecting these slopes.


We understand that this may be inconvenient for some residents, but this limited mowing schedule is an important safety measure to preserve the integrity of the hillsides.

Please be considerate of neighbors by keeping dogs under control and minimizing barking at all times.


Pet areas must be cleaned daily (or more often if needed), and you must immediately clean up any pet waste outside your home year-round. Please dispose of pet feces in your own trash cans, not in the community trash cans.

Now is the time to enhance the look of your home's exterior and tidy up your yard! Simple tasks like mowing (50 feet from your homes exterior), weeding, trimming, and cleaning up pet waste will help keep your yard and the community looking its best.


To make things easier, lawn equipment is available to borrow from the Self-Help Store on a first-come, first-served basis.

MULCH IS NOW AVAILABLE at the Self-Help Store!

PWF grounds crews are working to enhance the common areas. We are now in the process of mulching the playground areas to ensure they stay safe and inviting for everyone.


Additionally, our PWF contracted vendors are mowing the community areas. We kindly ask all residents to REMOVE ALL PERSONAL PROPERTY from these areas when not in use to prevent any potential damage.


As a reminder, PWF and/or contracted vendors are not responsible for any damage to personal property left in the common areas.

PWF has started the weed and feed process in the resident areas. Residential front and side yards will be sprayed and flags will be placed until dry. Please keep your children and pets off the grass until dry.

  

If you do not want your yard sprayed, please contact the Maintenance department at 937-253-3488 Option 3 so we can remove you from the list.

Courtyard Address Sign Lighting Upgrade


A PWF-contracted vendor will be upgrading the lighting for the Legacy courtyard address signs. A certified electrician will be on-site to rewire and install the new lights. Please use caution if you see him working near the courtyard signs. Thank you for your attention and cooperation!

Infrastructure Upgrades in The Woods


American Water and Associated Hydro will be conducting work on the water infrastructure in The Woods, including Middy, McDowell, Shields, Semmes, Weitzel, Mosby, and Buel.


During this period, traffic control measures will be in place, and some areas may have limited access. Traffic flow will return to normal once the work is complete. We thank you for your patience and cooperation as necessary improvements are made to the local infrastructure.
