Weights and Measures Week: March 1-7, 2008
|
| February 29, 2008 |
 "Whether detergent, fruit or gasoline, I can trust I am getting what I pay for."
Every day, Americans make purchase decisions-at the grocery store and the gas pump,
to pay a taxi fare, feed a parking meter, or order a delivery of home heating oil.
These diverse "daily necessities" have one common ingredient: the trust you can have
that everything you weigh, pump or measure is accurate because of a national weights
and measures program.
It is the National Conference on Weights and Measures (NCWM) and your state and local
weights and measures inspectors that ensure a reliable system-providing confidence
that you will get what you pay for.

National Flood Insurance Program
|
| February 06, 2008 |
| On February 5, 2008, The Division of
Water Resources
met with a representative
from FEMA's Insurance Services Office to begin the application process of
lowering the flood insurance premiums for Sutter County's residents
located within the special flood hazard regions. The Community benefits
by providing documentation of ordinances, engineering studies, standard
operating procedures, mapping and public outreach efforts that verify
adherence to the National Flood Insurance Programs guidelines.
The
application process is expected to be completed next month with
automatically-adjusted premium discounts effective after October 1, 2008.
Staff is expecting to provide enough information during the first round
of certification to improve the communities rating from "Class 10"
to "Class 8", benefiting residents with a 10% discount on their
yearly premiums. Additional effort in the near future may reduce Sutter
County's flood insurance premiums as much as 30%. [More] |
