Spring Valley Township has two levies on the November ballot that would provide for better staffing of the township fire department. One is a renewal of a five-year, 2.0 mill levy. The other will replace a levy from 1976 that will add an additional two mills on a permanent basis. The bond would cost residents an additional $8.75 per month or $105 annually. The Spring Valley Fire Department said this bond will help move toward consistent staffing to better serve the community. Currently a volunteer fire department, Spring Valley has seen an increase in calls even as the number of volunteers has dwindled. Fire Chief Rusty Cross said he anticipates 600 calls a year in the next few years. “Call volume has increased between 12 and 50 percent,” he said. “Medical calls have gone up significantly in the past few years.”
