Hosler Dam siren test due Monday Comment By Local report DailyTidings.com By Local report Posted Jul. 10, 2015 at 7:25 PM Updated Jul 10, 2015 at 8:05 PM By Local report Posted Jul. 10, 2015 at 7:25 PM Updated Jul 10, 2015 at 8:05 PM » Social News Testing of the warning sirens that would go off in case of a failure of Hosler Dam is set for noon Monday, July 13.  The sirens will run at full power for 15 seconds, followed by the announcement that "This is a test of the Hosler Dam warning system. This is only a test," followed by a second sounding of the sirens for another 15 seconds, the city announced.  The sirens are located at the Bowmer Theatre near the downtown Plaza, at the Parks Department  office at the upper end of Granite Street in Lithia Park, at the Dog Park off Oak Street near the Wastewater Treatment Plant, and by Dutch Brothers coffee kiosk at 1910 Highway 99 across from Butler Ford. Hosler Dam, a 118-foot high concrete arch dam built in 1928, holds back Reeder Reservoir on Ashland Creek, Ashland's primary water source,about 1.2 miles upstream from downtown. When full, it holds approximately 800 acre feet of water. If it failed, Ashland Creek would likely flood parts of Lithia Park, portions of Granite and Nutley streets, the Ashland Plaza and Winburn Way, and cover the area between Oak and Helman streets. It would take the waters about eight minutes to reach the city limits. You can see a map of spots that would likely be affected by flooding at www.ashland.or.us/Files/hosler%20dam.PDF. For more information, call the Ashland Public Works Department at 541-488-5587 or email [email protected].
