PUBLIC NOTICE: The Arlington Fire Department will be conducting annual Fire Hydrant inspections and flushing beginning April 15, 2024 and continuing through June 21, 2024. Most hydrants will be flushed between the hours of 9 AM and 4 PM. Residents may notice a decrease in water pressure while hydrants are flushed. The water is safe to use during this period, however discoloration in the water may occur. Discoloration can be alleviated by running your cold water for several minutes. We advise you to refrain from washing laundry while discoloration is present. If you experience a continued reduction in flow from your faucets, we recommend you clean the screen at the tip of your faucet since mineral deposits may have accumulated during the flushing period.

Town staff participated in Fire Extinguisher Training last week - ensuring all employees know what to do in the event of an emergency. Thank you to the Arlington Fire Department & Fire Station 2 for hosting and training us all!

No, the monthly Town fee for solid waste (trash, recycle, yard waste, etc.) has not changed. However, we understand some people have seen other amounts on their bills from MLGW. We are assured those amounts are to correct previous billing errors; however, should you think your average 1-year Solid Waste cost exceeds our rate - give Town Hall a call and we'll research your records.
