Emergency Warning Siren Use Discontinued in 2019
After much deliberation it was decided to discontinue use of the Township's warning siren system. The siren system was extremely old and unable to be maintained. With the many modern alternatives to sirens and the prohibitive cost of replacing them it was decided to discontinue their use. For more information please click here.
Weather Radio's are now available for purchase at the Township for $25, (our cost).
