Not many ‘Slow, No Wake Zones' designated

With the recent rainfall showering the Stateline Area, the Rock County emergency management coordinator expected to measure high water levels in the Rock River Thursday, but was surprised by what she saw.

“Right now they're telling me that Afton is the only area near flood stage,” Shirley Connors said, noting she confirmed the section was below its 9-foot flood level at 4:30 that morning.

In addition to monitoring portions of the Rock River for potential flooding, other officials have designated and enforced “Slow, No Wake Zones” this spring.

The season's first No Wake Zones were implemented in late March, and the Rock County Sheriff's Department have and still are enforcing four zones throughout April. They are the Town of Rock, the City of Janesville, the Town of Janesville and the Town of Fulton. The restricted area spans from the Beloit-Rock Townline Bridge in Southern Rock County to the mouth of Lake Koshkonong near Newville to the north.
