COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – The Branch County Board of Commissioners approved a quote of nearly $9,500 Tuesday for a new 911 software system which would allow firefighters to receive fire information through their cellphones
Previously, they had to wait for an alarm or a fire call.
The software quote was provided by CENTRALSQUARE. The funds for the software would come from the 911 budget.
In other business, commissioners gave Administrator Bud Normal permission to issue a Request for Proposal for water and sewer projects for the two houses that are used for the Teen Share program at 145 East State Street.
One house is used for three males, the other is for up to three females.
They are connected to the prison water and sewer system. Norman says it is now necessary that the houses be removed from the prison facilities and are connected to the public systems.
The water system will be able to connect to the Coldwater Board of Public Utilities. The sewer lines are 300 feet away and would be costly to connect to so a septic system would be installed.
