To homeowners whos property boarders the Chevron pipeline that runs through Pinebrook:

Per Tom Denison with Chevron Pipeline:  “Chevron Pipeline Company operates and maintains two 10-inch crude oil pipelines which come over Kimball Junction and traverses over to Emigration Canyon.

To maintain the integrity of the pipelines, one part of Chevron’s ongoing maintenance program is to periodically clear overgrown vegetation from the pipeline right of way. This work will consist of minor tree/brush clearing and trimming and will be limited to the 16.5 foot Chevron Right Of Way [that extends 16.5 feet on either side of the Southernmost of the two parallel pipelines].  No herbicides will be used. Weather permitting the work will begin the week of June 23rd. Chevron will be utilizing a contractor, WPFI, to perform this work. You may have seen their trucks in the area performing Chevron maintenance in the past.

With spring and summer upon us, always remember to call 811 (Blue Stakes of Utah) before you begin any digging or excavation work. It’s the law. Calling before you dig will allow a utility line locator to identify any buried utilities in the area of your digging project at no cost to you. A single post hole project can cause extensive damage to buried infrastructure.”

Please pass along to your friends and neighbors so they are not alarmed by the work being done.

On June 10th, the home in Pineridge was burglarized.  The criminals broke into their car parked in the driveway, gained access to the garage with the door opener and proceeded to steal tools and a vehicle from their home.  Even in our mountain community, thieves are always on the lookout, so please be diligent and know they will take advantage of any opportunity they can.  Please be watchful, and report any suspicious activity immediately to the Summit County Sheriff’s department.

The next regularly schedule board of directors meeting is scheduled for Thursday, July 10th at 7pm at the offices of Gorgoza Mutual Water Company.  All PHOA members are invited to attend if they have questions or concerns that they would like to present to the board.

The next regularly scheduled board meeting will be held Thursday, June 5th at 7pm at the office of Gorgoza Mutual Water Company.  All members of the Pinebrook HOA are welcome to attend.

Dumpsters have been scheduled to be placed in the parking lot of the Pinebrook Park on Friday, May 23rd and will remain through the following Sunday, June 1st.  Please use this opportunity to clean up your property and help continue to make Pinebrook a great place to live.  As a matter of common sense, PLEASE KEEP THE AREA SAFE AND DO NOT DISPOSE OF HAZARDOUS OR COMBUSTIBLE CHEMICALS (PAINT, STAIN, FUEL, OIL, ETC.), HAZARDOUS MATERIALS (PROPANE TANKS, AMMUNITION, ETC.), OR CONSTRUCTION WASTE AND DEBRIS!!  ALSO, PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE ANYTHING ON THE GROUND AROUND THE DUMPSTERS.  Thank you very much for your cooperation.  If you have any questions, please contact the HOA via the Contact Us page of the website.

There has been recent concern in the neighborhood about a pipeline proposed by Tesoro to transport waxy crude to Salt Lake City from Duchesne.  Currently, the proposed route is to extend north from Duchesne to approximately the Morgan County line before heading west to Bountiful and does not utilize the existing Chevron pipeline through Pinebrook.  Public input is being taken until Monday, March 17th if owners in the area would like to offer their opinion about the proposed route, and concerns if the route were to ever been changed to run through Pinebrook.  If that were to happen, owners would possibly be subject to a much wider right-of-way than what currently exists.   Contact information for public input is as follows:
