The city’s Veterans Day notice covers city offices, parks, transit and the two utilities. The county’s closure notice, posted Monday, covers county offices and Bi-County. The school system’s 2026-27 calendar (PDF) lists Nov. 11 as a day teachers do not report.
Trash: plan around two days at Highway Drive
Clarksville has no city trash pickup, so most households either pay a private hauler or haul their own trash to a Bi-County site. The Bi-County home page says all of its operations, including the convenience centers, are closed Wednesday.
The Highway Drive transfer station and convenience center is also closed every Thursday, Bi-County says. That means the Highway Drive site is shut Wednesday and Thursday and reopens at 7 a.m. Friday.
The Woodlawn center on Dover Road, which is open daily, reopens Thursday. If you use a private hauler, your holiday schedule comes from that company. Hours for every site are on our trash and recycling page.
Utility bills and outages
Clarksville Gas and Water’s administration, engineering and north and south customer service offices are closed. The city said bills can still be paid through the automated line at 931-645-7400, online and at the utility’s 24-hour drive-up kiosks.
- Gas, water or sewer emergency: 931-645-7400, or the after-hours line, 931-645-0116
- CDE Lightband power outage: 931-648-8151, or report it on the CDE Lightband website
One overnight water outage runs into the holiday
Clarksville Gas and Water moved a valve replacement on Old Ashland City Road up to Tuesday night. It had been set for Thursday, the utility said in a revised notice.
- Water off: 7 p.m. Tuesday to about 3 a.m. Wednesday, on Old Ashland City Road from 2134 Old Ashland City Road to Golf Club Lane, and on Proctor Drive, Proctor Court and Wilson Court
- Lane shift: from 6 p.m. Tuesday, the outer westbound lane moves into the inner westbound lane from 2140 Old Ashland City Road to Proctor Drive
- Back to normal: water and the lane by about 3 a.m. Wednesday, the utility said
The week’s other closures are on our road work and closures page.
