Dominion Energy is alerting the public to its annual test of Lake Murray Dam's emergency siren system. Testing is scheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 20 at 1 p.m. and will last for about three minutes.
Testing is conducted every January. The inundation system includes 10 rotating sirens near the Saluda River in Richland and Lexington counties.
Should an actual emergency occur at the Lake Murray dam and its backup dam, the sirens would alert the public to tune in to local radio or television stations for information.
The company also conducts a monthly, one-minute test of these sirens at Lake Murray in compliance with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
