12 False Alarms While home alarm systems may provide residents with some peace of mind and security, they sometimes create problems for emergency personnel. Alarms, at times, go off for no apparent reason or for reasons other than the threat of an intruder or fire, alerting emergency personnel to respond. As a result, police and other emergency personnel are forced to respond to false alarms on an all too frequent basis. As a result, the Borough has adopted policies regarding false alarms. According to Ordinance #34, a false alarm is defined as any alarm to which the police, fire or ambulance responds resulting from the activation of an alarm device when a crime, fire or other emergency warranting immediate action by the police, fire department or ambulance has not occurred. An accidental false alarm for any reason to which the police, fire and/or ambulance responds shall be charged in each calendar year as follows: First alarm of each year Second to fifth alarm of each year Sixth to tenth alarm each year Eleventh and up No charge $100/per false alarm $200/per false alarm $250/per false alarm Please help us keep emergency personnel where they are truly needed. If you are having trouble with your security system, please contact your security company so they may assist you in resolving the problem in a timely manner to prevent further false alarms and charges. Third Quarter Water Billing Please note that 3rd quarter water bills were mailed at the end of September and will be due October 31st. The monthly surcharge is $15.94 and the charge for water usage is $7.87 per 1,000 gallons of water. Residents are advised that there is a convenience fee applied by MuniciPAY when paying your water bill online or over-thephone with a credit and/or debit card. The fee is the greater of either $3.00 or 2.65% of the amount due. The convenience fee is among the most competitive in the industry. For more information visit the Borough at 12
