Arlington Comprehensive Plan Update Adopted 3-17-2015 | Page 61

Public safety is a core service that is critical to ensuring the confidence and
safety of Arlington’s residents, businesses, and visitors. Services provided by
police, fire, municipal court, and code compliance are part of the city’s mission
to address personal safety and make Arlington a community where people feel
safe anywhere, all the time.

Utilities such as water, sanitary sewer,
stormwater management, solid waste
collection, electric power, natural gas,
and telecommunications (telephone,
cable television, and internet access)
are basic and necessary services
provided to residents and businesses.
While the city provides water and
sanitary sewer infrastructure and
services, private companies under
franchise with the city or State deliver
services for other utilities.
