Townships are geographical subdivisions of counties. If well populated, they become political subdivisions, with governing bodies, services, etc. Most are governed by small unpaid supervisory boards that are responsible for roads. Cities and towns are defined and classified, I believe, by PA Code, which also classifiesTownships. Some internet research will give you your answers.

Seems little different to me whether a central facility or an individual building boiler makes the steam, carbon wise. Effectively, transporting heated steam over distance results in dissipation of the energy used to heat it, whatever the source. It made sense when steam was a byproduct of electricity generation via carbon based fuels, but won't renewables eliminate the excess heat factor?

Many departments have no holding cells. DUI, as a misdemeanor, is not a holding offense. Drunks, of course, can be sobered up before release as a matter of public safety (theirs and other's). Releasing to a sober relative or friend is considered due diligence, and less liability intensive as far as possible in-custody injury, illness, overdose, etc. Of course, drunks will be drunks...

Homeowners insurance is likely to sue you for damage you cause and they have to pay for, and deny coverage for injury to you, because contractors are required to have their own insurance.
