NEWAYGO/MECOSTA COUNTY, Mich. — Siren tests are scheduled to occur near several West Michigan dams next week.
Consumers Energy says the sirens will be tested Thursday, Aug. 18 at 9 a.m. near the Hardy, Croton and Rogers dams.
We’re told the siren test will begin with a voice message followed by a 30-second-long siren, and concluding with another voice message.
No public action is necessary while tests are being conducted.
Should any of the dams fail during a real emergency, the energy provider advises residents near the river to retreat to higher ground.
