The numbers are now available for $15, and an addi- tional $12 for a sign post. The new 911 emergency dialing system will be coming into effect in Durham Region May 1. Street names changed From Page 1 When the operator answers, he/she will decide what the call- res needs are, police, ambu- lance, fire department, and will dispatch tke services. With the 911 coming into ef- fect, many street names and ad- dresses had to be changed re- cently in Scugog Township. Mr. Cuddie said that with the program, street name duplica- tions have to be kept to a bare minimum between Scugog, Ux- bridge, and Brock Townships. He added that the address changes are strictly for identifi- cation p ses for municipal services. Those in rural routes should not delete their rural route number, but rather add the new address toit. All address changes should have been mailed out Mr. Cud- die stated, unless a property was missed. When the 911 system comes into effect, Mr. Cuddie stresses that it is to be used only for emergency calls. There will be a telephone in- stalled for administration calls. There will be a new number in- stalled to serve those who call the emergency services for in- formation purposes. The new 911 house numbers and posts are now available at the Municipal offices. The num- bers are $15, and the posts $12. Residents are encouraged to pick up their number and dis- play it. Mr. Cuddie stated, it is in their own best interest. The numbers must be placed so they are visible from the road. sign must be placed visi- ble from the road. The township will be reminding residents in the spring once again to post their numbers. With 911 dialing coming into effect in May it will be easier for many to contact help, with one emergency number for all ser- vices. Currently in Durham Region there are seven different seven digit numbers for police alone, and different numbers for the fire department, and ambu- lance services in each of Dur- ham eight municipalities.
