Roof Replacements in The Prairies

 

PWF contracted vendors are now doing roof replacements in The Prairies! Work will start as early as 7:30 AM.

 

Weather Permitting, Work on will begin Monday, 12 May. Crews will work in the following order for the buildings outlined below if they are not completed this week:

 

  • 133 Freesia
  • 137 Freesia

We ask that, during the time your home is being worked on, you park on the street or in marked parking areas - please do not park in your garage or driveway (you may not be readily able to get out!).

 

Every attempt will be made to minimize the impact to the surrounding areas of each building. To help with cleanup of materials, please have your lawn recently mowed. All personal items, including lights and other patio decorations, must be removed and away from the exterior of the building to protect them from damage. Should you have a fenced back yard, any locks must be removed from gates and pet waste must be removed. Please be aware that The Properties at Wright Field and the roofing contractor will not be responsible for any items that are not removed prior to construction.

Gas Line Replacement Project for Legacy Homes


Exciting news! We are kicking off the Gas Line Replacement Project for the Legacy Homes. Crews will work in the following order for the buildings outlined below:


Work will continue for:


  • 5688, 5692, 5694, 5698, 5700, 5704, 5706, & 5710 Hickam

During this time, we will be removing the rear fences to install a brand-new gas line to each home. Once the installation is complete, a new fence will be built in its place.


As we begin work in your area, please take note of the following:

  • Remove all items off of your porch, please store items inside shed or garages.
  • Remove items from on and around the fences and sheds.
  • Remove any locks from gates and sheds for easy access.
  • Pick up all pet waste and keep pets on a leash when outside until your new fence is installed.
  • Supervise children carefully while they play outside as there will be crews digging and open areas while we lay the new gas lines.
  • Be mindful of workers as they work on this project to ensure everyone's safety.

Yard Maintenance


With warmer weather here, it is the perfect time to spruce up the exterior of your home and yard! Simple tasks like mowing, 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!

Pet Maintenance


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.

Common Areas


Our PWF grounds crews have begun their work to enhance the common areas, including elevating trees and weed and feed spraying in The Prairies and The Woods. Once the spraying is completed, we will begin mulching the playground areas to ensure they stay safe and inviting for everyone.


While flags are up in the playground areas, please refrain from allowing your children or pets to play there until the flags are removed.


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.

Weed & Feed Resident 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.

Fire Hydrant Flow Test Reminder


American Water will be performing annual hydrant flushing and inspection in Areas A and B, to include the Prairies and Woods housing areas during the period of April through May. Testing will take place during normal duty hours from 0800 - 1700. Some slight water discoloration and lower pressure can be expected during the test period.  


During the testing period, motorists should be on the lookout for American Water personnel operating hydrants and walking near the roadway. Drivers should be careful not to drive or park too close to any hydrant if they observe testing in the vicinity. For more information call American Water Customer Service at 937-623-9786 during normal duty hours.  


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!

Water Line Replacement in The Woods


PWF Contracted Vendors are actively working on a water line replacement project affecting Welcome Way in The Woods. Crews will be working in front of homes to dig and replace existing water lines. During this time, residents may experience intermittent water outages.


Traffic control measures will be in place throughout the project, and some areas may have limited access. Normal traffic flow will resume once the work is completed. We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we make these important upgrades to the local infrastructure.

Infrastructure Upgrades in The Woods


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

CenterPoint Energy Project in The Woods


Over the next few months, weather permitting, CenterPoint Energy will be upgrading the gas line on the exterior of your home and connecting it to the new gas pipes. A representative from PWF will reach out to you to schedule the upgrade for your property. Once scheduled, someone over the age of 18 must be home in the afternoon for access to your home.


The process will require an estimated 5-hour gas outage, after which CenterPoint Energy will need access to your home to relight the pilot lights. If the crews are unable to gain access to your home, you may be without heat and hot water until the following day. Crews may also need to dig in front of your home or a neighbor's home to make the necessary connections so please park in your driveway and not curbside if you see the crews working near your home. Any holes that are dug should be covered or filled back in by the following morning.


During this time, there may be limited access to certain areas, but normal traffic flow will resume once the work is completed. Please exercise caution when traveling through the work zone and follow all signs or directions from flaggers and workers.
