Be ready to hear sirens along Puntledge River as siren tests take place next week.
BC Hydro will be testing their public warning system along the river to make sure it works in case of potential hazards like water flow increases.
Hydro says they’ll test all the sirens from Comox Dam to Puntledge Park for two days before starting a full system test. That test would see a pulse of water released from the Dam to trigger the system.
While Hydro staff monitors the system along the area, signs will be in place for you to follow.
Testing runs from May 13 to 15.
