Spring Grove safety committee to review alert concept

SPRING GROVE – The Spring Grove Safety Committee will investigate whether Spring Grove should implement a community alert system that could notify residents of weather emergencies by phone, text or e-mail message.

Connect-CTY, a company that provides alert system service, addressed the board at Tuesay’s meeting. Trustees are not yet positive that there is a need for the service, so the Safety Committee will research the topic, Safety Committee Chairman Del Houghton said.

“It’ll be on the radar, and we’ll determine if this is something we should be moving forward with or it’s just not feasible for Spring Grove,” Houghton said. “Due diligence is the key to this.”

Connect-CTY already provides service to Barrington Hills, Wauconda and Antioch.
