Caught this off of Google Maps...

About all of the Corps of Engineers of Kansas Dam/Spillways have a siren like this. Yes, I am aware it is used to notify people that water will rise fast, but I am unaware of the model. Wish I had a picture of the Hillsdale Lake siren on the spillway side. That thing last i remember was rusted as rusty could get! :|

That would be the tried and true Federal Signal model 2.

(it rhymes!)

Thanks for the quick response. One of only a few that I've ever seen like that.

At Kanopolis they have a Model 2 on top of the floodgate building (which happens to be right next to the park office).

The one at Perry Lake is indeed a rusty Model 2. In all of the times I have been fishing there I have never heard it go off. That siren at Clinton lake must be new, last time I was there I did not recall seeing a siren. It looks like a White Model 2 though.
