Building Department
As we approach the colder winter months, it might be helpful to keep these home fire sprinkler guidelines in mind:
Steps to help protect your fire sprinkler system during freezing weather:
1. Program all in-home thermostats to maintain a minimum temperature of 60°F (16°C).
2. Check the heating system to make sure that it is in good working order and that it is delivering heat to all areas of the home.
3. Inspect the attic area for piping which may be susceptible to freezing temperatures. Insulation coverage between the water-filled pipes and the unconditioned area should be in place. Replace any insulation that has become dislodged, is damaged or is missing.
4. Ensure the building envelope/exterior is in good condition and close unnecessary openings, especially doors, windows, and foundation vents.
5. Identify the location of the main water shutoff valve for the house. (Maintain easy access to a key for fast shutoff if needed.)
6. Identify the location of the shutoff valve for the fire sprinkler system. (Maintain the proper tool or screwdriver to quickly access the panel.)

Engineering Department
Thank you for your patience as we have been working with our partners on the Stonebrook repaving and the Sunset/Nolensville Road turn lane. We are happy to announce that both projects are complete.
Southern Land Company will be installing sewer across Baronswood Drive by open cut of road. Construction will take place from November 11th- Nov 22nd. During the day, one lane will always be open with traffic control flaggers on site. We ask for your patience as there will be some traffic delays due to equipment crossing and sewer manhole installation. At night both lanes will be open with steel plates covering excavation. The contractor will be installing temporary bypass widening of the roadway on each side at different times to allow one lane to be open.
