ISO Rating

The Department currently holds an Insurance Services (ISO) rating of 4 in all hydrant areas, which is considered a premium rate by most insurance companies. All non-hydrant areas hold a rating of 9. With the current number of non-sprinkler-ed buildings and those planned, along with the increase service demanded by a growing community, it will be a struggle to maintain that rating. Our ability to maintain adequate staffing with our current funding levels will be unrealistic in the future. The Trustees and the Department are committed to providing the best possible services.
