However, one smoke alarm doesn't provide enough protection. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends installing a smoke alarm inside every sleeping room, outside every sleeping area and on every level of the home. And, it's best if you install alarms that interconnect to each other, so when one sounds they all sound. Different types of smoke alarms: • Ionization smoke alarms are generally more responsive to flaming fires. • Photoelectric smoke alarms are generally more responsive to fires that begin with a long period of smoldering. • Dual -Sensor smoke alarms combine ionization and photoelectric technology to detect both flaming and smoldering fires, offering you the best protection and saving you the trouble of installing two separate smoke detectors. Daylight Savings Time begins March 14. Traditionally, switching to and from Daylight Savings is a good reminder to test the smoke detectors in your home and replace the batteries. That way, you know the batteries are fresh. For more information on installing, maintaining and testing smoke detectors, visit NFPA. org. Testing smoke alarms: • Test smoke alarms at least once a month using the test button. • Make sure everyone in the home understands the sound of the smoke alarm and knows how to respond. • Follow manufacturer's instructions for cleaning to keep smoke alarms working well. • Smoke alarms with non -replaceable 10-year batteries are designed to remain effective for up to 10 years. If the alarm chirps, warning that the battery is low, replace the entire smoke alarm right away. • Smoke alarms with any other type of battery need a new battery at least once a year. If that alarm chirps, warning the battery is low, replace the battery right away. • When replacing a battery, follow manufacturer's list of batteries on the back of the alarm or manufacturer's instructions. Manufacturer's instructions are specific to the batteries (brand and model) that must be used. The smoke alarm may not work properly if a different kind of battery is used. If you cannot afford to purchase smoke alarms or alarm batteries for your home, the Euless Fire Department may be able to install them for you free of charge. Please call 817-685-1600 or visit https:Hfonns.eulesstx.gov/fonns/smoke for more information regarding free smoke detectors or to request a fire department representative to visit your home and evaluate your smoke alarms. Annual Roadway Project Update The Euless City Council is committed to the upkeep of the City's infrastructure and uses long-range planning in order to guide the maintenance and replacement of the City's infrastructure. The Capital Improvements Program is a comprehensive document detailing all drainage, street, water, wastewater, and other projects. The Capital Improvements Program is reviewed and updated annually to aid the City Council in allocating resources and determining priorities. All roadways in Euless are evaluated every four years to determine pavement condition and structural integrity. At the conclusion of this evaluation, each section of roadway is assigned a numerical score. This helps to determine what types of preventative maintenance or rehabilitation activities should be performed, or identifies if a roadway needs to be fully reconstructed. The evaluation is also used to prioritize the order in which work is addressed. Each year, the City Council appropriates approximately $1,000,000 towards street maintenance. Major street reconstruction projects are identified and separately funded. FY 2019 STREET RECONSTRUCTION Within the next few weeks, the City will begin a major street reconstruction project that was approved as part of the Capital Improvements Program. The project includes the complete reconstruction of the following streets: • Harwood Road, from just west of North Main Street to S.H. 157/Industrial Blvd. • South Pipeline Road, from Royal Parkway to Highland Drive. • Highland Drive • West Pipeline Road, from Raider Drive to Arwine Court In addition, a new extension of Mills Drive will also be constructed from S.H. 10 to provide additional access to Carr Park. Construction work will be performed in two phases. Construction on the first phase, which includes Harwood Road, South Pipeline Road, and Highland Dr. will begin in the next few weeks with final completion anticipated in November 2022. The second phase, which includes West Pipeline Road and Mills Dr. is scheduled to be bid in the summer of 2021.
