Following a reported incident of an outsider tampering with town water chlorine levels, Trappe’s council unanimously approved a $10,495.94 Safehouse proposal to upgrade the town camera system using ARPA funds.
The Trappe Town Council on Sept. 4 unanimously approved using ARPA funds to upgrade the town’s camera system after council members cited an emergency security situation tied to an incident of chlorine tampering in the town’s water system.
Commissioner Walter Chase moved to accept Safehouse’s proposal to install and upgrade cameras at all locations for a total of $10,495.94; Commissioner Jeremy Newnam seconded and the motion passed unanimously. The minutes record the action as prompted by an emergency security situation in which an outsider tampered with chlorine levels in the town’s water.
No additional details about the tampering incident were recorded in the minutes; the council did not record responses from external agencies in the transcript. Administrator Erin Braband and the town attorney were present during the motion and were asked to proceed with implementing the camera upgrades using ARPA funds.
