If you plan to dig anywhere, from home projects to large construction jobs, you must contact 811 before you dig. Thousands of miles of pipeline, wires and cables for critical services such as electricity, natural gas, water, sewage, communications and utilities are located underground. Damaging these lines could result in large utility outages, expensive repair costs, and could cause injury, and even death.

Homeowners are responsible to remove all storm debris and branches from damaged trees located on their personal property.  Homeowners have a couple of good options:  
(A) Take damaged branches to the Black Forest Slash located about a 10-15 minute drive from Pine Creek Village.  See details at www.bfslash.org 
(B) Prepare for Waste Management pickup.  Two methods are available: 
(1)  Bundle limbs and branches in 4-foot lengths and tightly bound with string so that the WM personnel can lift the bundle without movement; or
​(2) Bag storm debris in black plastic bags and place curbside for Waste Management (WM) pickup.  WM will pick up a maximum 5 bags for each homeowner in addition to the standard 96-gallon waste bin. Homeowners should use heavy duty 42-gallon black plastic bags available at local hardware stores.
