Show sun Hi il Eighty-Seve- DU EUREKA, UTAH 84628 - December 11, 1992 n H mm amsiMD Monday morning, Dec. 7, 1992, the new enhanced 91 1 system became a reality in Juab County. This was the climax of 16 months of work and several changes in the system. The final system, which will cost about $160,000, was activated at 8 a.m. when representatives of U.S. West and Juab County agreed everything was in order and the switching was started. Dim h E 300 S M.T Volume WE CW, UT 33 31 Sec Mill Number 50 Price $.40 stale) The package includes the 91 1 system, a computer aided dispatch system and a computer network. Also included in the package was an uninterrupted power supply, and a large generator. That dtai itjf will handle emergency power to the 91 1 system and the computers, as well as to the new radio and recorder that was purchased two years ago. The new generator, which is to be installed later this week or next, is large enough to handle all of the emergency power needs at the new jail. The system should stop prank calls made on the 911 system, because once the phone rings, the system will continue to ring until it is answered. This will continue even if the calling party hangs up. When the phone is answered, the dispatcher has the name the phone is listed in, the phone number, and the address the call is made from. Once a dispatcher gets the phone number, he will try to call that number, and if there is no answer, an officer will be sent to that address to determine if an officer is needed. A log is maintained by the system that shows when the call was placed and the information concerning the phone. This is printed on a log that can be kept to verify prank calls. This is an emergency system and prank calls cannot and will not be tolerated, officials said. The new 91 1 system covers the Nephi, Levan, Mona, Eureka and Mammoth areas. Calls made from Callao, Trout Creek and Partoun will still be handled by their private phone company. First responders to 911 calls from Eureka and Mammoth will be the Juab County Sheriffs Department, Eureka Fire Department and West Juab Ambulance Association .
