Three Things to Know in Arlington: Feb. 2-8, 2026

Arlington Water Utilities is offering free sprinkler test kits to residents with automatic irrigation systems throughout February. The kits include four gauges and instructions and help measure water application so homeowners can adjust watering and avoid overwatering this summer. Residents can pick one up at City Hall or the South Service Center while supplies last and visit WaterIsAwesome.com for weekly watering advice.

You’re invited to celebrate the dedication of Heartfulness, the City of Arlington’s newest public art installation, featuring remarks from City leadership, artist Katy Boynton, and the American Heart Association. The steel sculpture—a mended heart—symbolizes resilience, healing, and the enduring power of love; parking will be available in Cowboys Silver Lot 4 east of AT&T Way.
