/in , /by

UPDATE 2:25 PM:  The Tornado siren will need some additional programming prior to being put into service.  The contractor is currently planning to be back next week to update.  In the meantime, the new siren will not sound in inclement weather nor at 6:00PM.  We will update with further information once we have a date to complete the programming.

 

The contractor is planning to install the new tornado siren, today, July 22.  This new tornado siren will go up just north of sunshine foods, by the bike trail.

During the installation, they may test the siren, and potentially the other sirens in town as well.  Please be aware that we could test the siren several times through the afternoon.
