Lake Piru Early Warning System Installation

United Water Conservation District (United) proposes to install a new siren to address a coverage gap in the existing emergency alarm systems at Lake Piru (Project). This new safety device will be located on the western shore of Lake Piru, near United’s existing Water Treatment Facility (34.473026, -118.757202), and will alert boaters on the lake and campers and visitors at the Lake Piru Recreation Area of an imminent emergency. The device will be equipped with a rotating speaker with four active speaker cells, capable of reproducing six standard warning tones and an audible range of 6,100 feet (1.2 miles) at 70 decibels (dB) and 12,200 feet (2.3 miles) at 60 dB. An excavator will be used to dig an 8-foot-deep hole to install a 60-foot pole. The hole will be backfilled with the native excavated soil and the Project will be completed in one day.
