The Siren Board

To those who are old enough, does anyone remember the type of sirens that used to be part of the Miami-Dade Waterplant (around 87th and Sunset)? Today it's called the Alexander Orr Water Treatment plant but I remember years ago there used to be a sirens along Galloway road in the 80s/90s near that facility. I thought there might have been a white T-Bolt years ago that sat on top of the facility defunct in the 2000s but I'm curious if anyone actually remembers the type of siren that used to be in that area. You could hear it a mile away in the neighborhoods very clearly and figured maybe somebody could give me answer.

Thanks!

That siren you're referring to is a ACA Banshee B-115, it's still standing as of 2024 in fact. But the facility also now has a Federal Signal DSA Array at the south end of the facility so it's status is unknown.

Hey thanks NotDevin. Cool to know; I didn’t know it was still technically there. I figured there was some sort of siren system in place for the plant but never saw anything that stood out. Appreciate it

Yeah. The one on the South Side of the Facility is a Currently an FS Modulator 4016. I saw it on the Florida Map. I think the One on the North Side has been Demolished.
