Addressing

E 911 - This emergency system is based on a numbering system for each citizen based on the street you live on. Under our Addressing Ordinance each residence is required to have 4-inch numbers clearly visible and readable from the street. This may mean some residence posting numbers at the end of your driveway. In a town wide review we find that only 50% of the addressing is compliant at best. We request that everyone take this numbering seriously and review your residence for compliance. Remember, that if you have an emergency the proper numbering of your residence may save precious time in our ability to respond to your location.
