With severe weather season rapidly approaching, Tallassee residents on the west side of the city and in the Carrville community should be aware that the severe weather sirens in those areas are not operating at this time.
"We have one weather siren that was hit by lightning, and we did an insurance claim on it," Mayor John Hammock said. "We have another siren that is not working that lightning did not hit it. It's just broken."
The broken siren is located in far west Tallassee near the intersection of AL Hwy 14 and AL Hwy 229. The siren that was hit by lightning and is being repaired is located near the intersection of AL Hwy 14 and Macedonia Road near the Funtastic Fort.
