Siren testing Nov. 20 at 10 a.m. for Occoquan Dam
On Wednesday, Nov.20, 2024, at 10 a.m., Fairfax Water will conduct its annual test of the Occoquan Dam Siren warning system.
Sirens in this warning system are designed to alert people to seek higher ground in the highly unlikely event that there is ever a massive failure of the Occoquan River Dam.
The impact zone includes areas in Prince William and Fairfax Counties located immediately adjacent to the Occoquan River from the Town of Occoquan to Belmont Bay.
