🚨Don’t Be Alarmed - It’s Just a Test!🚨 Heads up, Arlington Downs! Starting Monday, July 7, the Town's Wastewater Department will be conducting smoke testing in your neighborhood to help us sniff out (not literally!) any leaks or cracks in the sanitary sewer system. Testing will run from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., July 7–8.
WHAT YOU MIGHT SEE: You may notice harmless, white or gray smoke coming from manholes, vents, or even the ground. This is completely normal and part of the test!
WHAT IT MEANS: The smoke helps us locate places where rainwater might sneak into the sewer system. It’s non-toxic, odorless, and won’t stain—just a clever tool in our utility toolbox.
WHAT TO DO:
- Pour about a gallon of water into any rarely used drains (like in your basement or guest bath) to ensure traps are filled.
- If smoke somehow enters your home, open some windows and let the crew nearby know - or Call Us!
- No need to be home, just be aware!
📞 Questions? Give us a call at 901-867-1782. Thank you for your cooperation as we work to improve our infrastructure!

🎉 That’s a Wrap, Arlington! We’ve officially wrapped up our Community Walking program — and what a fantastic run of 6-week classes it’s been! Over 120 adults of all ages laced up their sneakers and committed to strengthening their health and our community.
Along the way, we:
- Built friendships
- Boosted strength and stamina
- Discovered (and rediscovered!) our beautiful parks
- And had a whole lot of FUN doing it!
None of this would’ve been possible without the incredible support we received:
- A huge THANK YOU to the National Recreation and Park Association for the grant that brought this program to life.
- Big thanks to Dynamix Physical Therapy and Results Physical Therapy (Arlington) for the educational sessions that kept us walking smart.
- Shoutout to SY Wilson’s and Patriot Bank for donating awesome prizes!
- And of course, to our amazing volunteers who made everything run smoothly!
And last but definitely not least — THANK YOU to our participants. You showed up, showed out, and truly made this a community to be proud of. 💙
Stay active, stay connected, and we’ll see you out in the parks! #ArlingtonTN #CommunityWalk #ThankYouWalkers #HealthyCommunity

🌿 More on Yard Waste Pickup 🌿 We recently shared yard waste guidelines (see our earlier post if you missed it), but here’s a quick reminder about pickup logistics:
Your weekly trash service includes up to 6 cubic yards of yard waste — about the size of a pickup truck bed.
If you have more than that, here are your options:
- Put out 6 cubic yards each week — it’ll be picked up for free
- Put it all out at once and pay WastePro for the extra load
- Haul the excess debris to a local disposal site
📞 Heads up: If you're placing yard waste at the curb, call Public Works at least one day in advance at (901) 867-4980. The claw truck doesn’t hit every street daily, so a heads-up helps ensure timely pickup.
Thanks for helping us keep the Town clean and running smoothly!
