Over the past few months a process has been underway to select a site and then install a new outdoor warning siren. The new siren is being located just west of the Bent Creek Golf Course on the north side of Valley View Road. The site is on city property near one of the well houses. This siren will provide a wide area of coverage due to it’s location near several outdoor venues, the golf course and Edenvale Park. A lot of work has gone into this project, headed up by Assistant Chief, Scott Taylor (now retired) and Kirby Paulson from our Public Works Department. Kirby is the man when it comes to these outdoor warning sirens and all the details that go into locating them and installing them.
Below are a few pictures of the siren, already mounted on the pole and then the whole thing being raised by a crane and into place. Come this spring, a new strong voice will be heard in the neighborhood, adding another level of waring to our network of sirens.
