The Addison Township Board of Trustees approved spending $6,050.15 of Community Development Block Grant funding, which was previously allotted for fire department use, on the purchase of a new portable pump package for Station One.
The pump package includes on GPM portable pump for $4,795, hard suction hoses at $900 and a float dock strainer at $445.
The total cost is $6,140; however, Fire Chief George Spencer informed trustees that this amount could be less after the final shipping and handling charges are determined.
The fire department budget would cover any amount left after using the CDBG funds.
