Misty Lane Water Tower up and running

The Misty Lane water tower is online. Because of this water source, the fire station is requesting a ISO re-evaluation. ISO is an independent organization that serves insurance companies, fire departments, insurance regulators, and others by providing information about risk. ISO's expert field staff visits communities around the country to collect information about their fire departments, their fire alarm and communications systems, and their water supplies.
Resident's homeowner's insurance is directly tied in to the ISO rating. A lower number on a scale of 1 to 10 indicates better fire protection is available. Hopefully, a reduced ISO rating will mean better insurance rates for Grand Chute residents. I will keep you up to date on the town's ISO rating progress.
