On Tuesday, June 30, the Lansing Board of Water & Light will conduct an annual test of its dam break warning system.
Two sirens will sound at approximately 10 a.m. Following the sirens, a recorded message in both English and Spanish will be broadcast via loudspeakers. The message will say: “Testing the dam break flood warning system.”
Repeat: This exercise is only a test.
The sirens are located along the Grand River. One is located near Hazel Street, and the other is located near Lenawee and River streets.
Federal law requires the BWL to annually test the emergency warning system, in the event that the Moores Park Dam failed. Moores Park Dam is located on the Grand River near the BWL’s Eckert Power Plant.
