The town page now opens with a colored-pencil drawing of Homestead Manor, the 1819 brick house on the 1863 battlefield, with a freight train passing on the railroad that gave the town its name.
Live watches, warnings and advisories from the National Weather Service office in Nashville, read as issued. It reads both of the county's zone codes, because the NWS issues tornado, severe thunderstorm and flash flood warnings on one and heat, flood watch and fire weather on the other, and a page reading only one would be quietly deaf to half of them. A web page is still the wrong way to be woken at two in the morning — there is a link to the county's own alert signup at the top of the page.
Water from a utility district, sewer from the town, electricity from a co-operative, gas from a company, and your bins from whoever your HOA hired. The numbers that matter, grouped, with the emergency lines first — including the sewer operators' 24-hour line and what the county convenience centre will and will not take.
One meter, two bills. H.B. & T.S. Utility District reads your water meter and bills you for the water; the town takes the same reading and bills you separately for the wastewater. Put in your monthly gallons and you get both, at the rates each publishes. The page also says what the town's own website does not: its three pages listing which subdivisions are on town sewer do not agree with each other, and the one that looks newest leaves out a district the town says it serves. All twelve names are there, with the disagreement spelled out and the number to ring before you rely on it.
Put in your house number and street and the page tells you whether you are on the Tuesday round or the Thursday one, when the truck next comes, and what the crews will and will not take. It reads the town's own property list, so it covers all 3,788 addresses rather than a list of subdivisions. Two things worth knowing: the service is opt-in, so nothing is collected unless you have signed up, and Columbia Pike is split down the middle — odd numbers are Zone 1 and even numbers are Zone 2. The season runs 8 October to 17 December.
Thompson's Station is live, with four tools to start: leaf collection by address, a water and sewer bill estimator, who to call for each of the town's four utility providers, and live National Weather Service warnings for Williamson County. Four providers and no town trash service is a lot to work out when you move here, so the contacts page starts with the emergency lines and says plainly that your bins are your HOA's arrangement. If something on any of these pages is wrong, there is a correction link at the bottom of each one.
