Chillicothe Municipal Utilities workers spent most of Tuesday installing the majority of eight new storm sirens throughout Chillicothe. Wednesday morning, crews were finishing the installation by hooking up necessary wiring for each siren while others installed control panels at the fire department and police station. The city council approved the purchase of sirens last fall and accepted a project bid from Blue Valley Public Safety, Inc. for just over $157,600, which covered the cost of purchasing eight new storm sirens, while upgrading three existing storm sirens across the area. Prior to replacement, the sirens were thoroughly tested. Those replaced were originally installed in the 1950s and 1960s.
