Waste Management will be closed Monday for Labor Day, so all of the City of Thomson will have their garbage service delayed one day. Monday pickup on Tuesday, Tuesday on Wednesday and all the way to Friday pickup on Saturday.
Don't forget to roll your garbage can to the curb the night before. It always seems like they start their route early when they've been off a day!

Temporary Water Service Interruption Notice

The City will temporarily shut off water service in portions of the Hickory Hill area on Tuesday, August 4, 2026, from 11:00 AM until 1:00 PM while crews investigate and repair issues involving a fire hydrant.

The temporary water outage will affect:
• Hickory Hill Drive (between Lee Street and Twin Oaks Road)

Once service is restored, some customers may experience air in their water lines. If this occurs, simply run your cold water for a few minutes until the air is cleared and the water flows normally.

There is NO boil water advisory associated with this work. Your water will remain safe to use once service has been restored.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to maintain and improve our water system. If you have any questions, please contact City Hall at (706) 595-1781 .
