Alarm Ordinance Information
What do
I need to know regarding an alarm system?
Like
most communities, the Village of Spring Grove has ordinances that cover
alarm systems and false alarms.
Here are some things to remember. First, with only a
couple of exceptions, the village does not allow any automatic dialing
devices directly to the Police or Fire Department. Second, the alarm
shall not make a sound similar to that of sirens on emergency vehicles
or of civil defense warning systems. Lastly, residential and business
alarm users are allowed only three (3) false alarms in a fiscal year,
May 1st through April 30th.
If you exceed the
maximum false alarms in a year, there will be a fee of $150 per false
alarm.
If
you have an alarm, please stop by the Police Department and fill out an
emergency alarm registration form or click the link below.
The
information provided above is only a brief outline of the alarm
ordinance (Ordinance #19, Article I). There is more information
contained in the ordinance that you should be aware of. |
