Residents in Snyder Grove, Manor at Hall Creek, Summer Meadows, and nearby areas may notice a temporary drop or loss of water pressure today.
MLGW is shutting down a 20” water main along Summers Road for work related to the Hawthorne development. This may take several days.
Pressure should return, but it may take some time to fully build back up due to system looping.

We’re hiring for several full- and part-time positions across multiple departments, with opportunities to serve right here in your community.

If you receive anything like this, call Town staff to verify before taking action.

Come hungry and ready to learn!
A driver accidentally hit the gas instead of the brake and bumped into the front plate glass window. The good news - everyone appears to be ok, including the driver and people inside the restaurant. Damage appears to be minor.
Just one of those unfortunate accidents, but thankfully no injuries.
🌸 All Vendor Spots Now Full – Arlington in April!
You didn’t just respond... you filled every spot! Vendor spaces for next month’s Arlington in April event in Depot Square are now completely full.
That means a Square full of arts, crafts, food, fun, and live music. Start making your plans now. We’ll see you there!
🚧 We can’t believe we’re still saying this… 🚧 Please stop driving around the barricades on Airline Road.
The road is closed for a reason. Crews need the full roadway for repairs, and vehicles entering the work zone create a serious safety hazard for all involved.
If you are not a resident in the closed section, use the detour.
⛈️ Stay Weather Aware Today - Strong storms are expected in our area today, with the potential for heavy rain, strong winds, and hail. The chance of tornadoes is low, but not zero.
If a tornado warning is issued for our area, the Town’s Tornado Safe Room will open for public use (located at 11842 Otto Lane, beside Arlington Elementary).
Please stay weather aware and monitor local alerts.
