🚨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!

🌿 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!

📚 Storytime with a Side of Sirens! 📚 This morning, AFD made a special stop at the Forrest Street Pavilion to join in on story time with local author Becky Thomas ! Mrs. Thomas was there promoting her delightful children’s book series starring Roscoe the Rooster — a bossy barnyard bird with plenty of personality. The crew loved being part of this story time, and we think Roscoe might have a new fan base in the firehouse now! Big thanks to the Arlington Library for hosting this fun event and to Becky for sharing her stories with the community. Check out a few photos of the crew hanging out with the kids, the author, and of course, Roscoe!
