Georgetown's warning siren has been repaired

GEORGETOWN – The warning siren that did not sound during a recent high-wind event in the city has been repaired, Mayor Darrell Acord told the Georgetown City Council on Monday.

Acord said that a windstorm that blew through the area more than two weeks ago caused the warning siren in Westville to sound, but not the one in Georgetown.
