🚛 STREET SWEEPING STARTS MONDAY! We're rolling out our 3rd town-wide street sweep starting next Monday, July 28 (weather permitting), and it's your chance to help keep Arlington looking its best!

✅ What's getting cleaned?
• All public curbed streets during the day
• Major intersections + Town parking lots at night (to avoid traffic disruption)

✅ How long will it take?
About 5–7 days to cover the entire Town.

🚫 Heads up: Don't park on the street until your area has been swept. If it’s already clean, you're good to go!

Let’s work together to keep storm drains clear, roads tidy, and Arlington beautiful. Thanks for doing your part!

🌞🔥 Arlington, it's a scorcher out there! 🔥🌞 We’re under an **extreme heat warning** today – and it’s no joke. Feels like Mother Nature cranked the thermostat up to “Melt Your Face Off”!

Here’s how to **keep your cool** today:
- Hydrate like it's your full-time job
- Stay in the shade (or better yet, the A/C)
- Don’t forget your pets – they feel it too!
- NEVER leave kids or pets in the car (even for a minute!)
- Check on elderly neighbors – a quick call goes a long way

Let’s take care of each other, Arlington! Stay safe, stay cool, and maybe save the yard work for later😎

🚧 Big News, Arlington! 🚧 The wheels are in motion on a long-anticipated project — and it’s going to make a big difference in how we move around the south side of town!

Construction is set to begin in early August on the extension of Donelson Farms Pkwy from Donelson Elementary to State Route 385. This ¾-mile stretch will create a direct connection between Airline Road and SR 385 — a short distance with a big impact on access and traffic flow in the area.

This is a $7 million road project, with 80% funded by federal dollars through TDOT — a smart investment in Arlington’s infrastructure with big benefits for our community.

We’re working closely with the contractor to minimize disruption. Work will start on the west end near SR 385, away from Donelson Elementary, and crews will be mindful of school, church, and neighborhood access throughout the project.

This long-awaited extension is a big step toward better connectivity — stay tuned for updates as progress rolls forward!

🛠️ Aerial Update: Town Hall Expansion! If you’ve driven past Arlington Town Hall lately, you’ve no-doubt noticed the big changes underway — and now you can see the progress from above!

Construction is moving right along on the Town Hall expansion, a project that will double the office space in the building to better serve our growing community and its needs.

Originally dedicated in 1980, Town Hall was built when our population was just 1,778 people. Since then, the building has only seen small modifications — until now. With Arlington’s continued growth, this expansion will ensure we have the room, resources, and staff support to keep delivering the services our residents count on.

Work is expected to wrap up this fall, and we’ll share more updates (and views from above!) along the way. Stay tuned!

✅ Safe Room Update: Repairs Complete!✅ Remember in May when our Safe Room got a "haircut" by Mother Nature? Well, we’re happy to report the trim is cleaned up and a new roof is in place! While it’s not structural, the roof does help with moisture and climate control, playing an important support role in keeping things comfortable inside.
The big concrete bunker underneath—our actual tornado shelter—never missed a beat. But now it looks as solid on the outside as it always was on the inside.
Thanks for your patience as we got it all fixed up. The Safe Room is looking sharp again and, more importantly, still ready if and when you need it

🚨Smoke Testing Starts Today🚨 Reminder to those in Arlington Downs - the Wastewater Department will be conducting smoke testing in your neighborhood to help us identify 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!
