Alma Fire Underwriters Survey Praises City Water System
Mr. Cave representing the state fire underwriters praised Alma's water system after inspecting the city’s firefighting facilities. He said the water system is well engineered and sufficient, but improvements with the fire department are needed to boost insurance ratings. A 5,000 point patent rating is discussed, with rates shared among waterworks, fire protection, alarms, and buildings. He suggested upgrading the fire department and building codes to reach a higher rating, noting potential savings of about seven percent in local insurance premiums if the city attains a higher class. A final report will specify required improvements and whether a pumper and chemical tank are needed to qualify for a higher rating.
