County may be in line for flood aid

From the Watertown Daily Times

...“I've gotten reports from Lake Mills, Waterloo, Watertown, Rome, Palmyra, Fort Atkinson - so this covers also all of Jefferson County. The Crawfish and Rock Rivers, as well as Lake Koshkonong, have all been up. People are even talking about (the height of) Rock Lake and Lake Ripley, where they also have ‘slow, no wake' rules in effect.”

She added the Bark River hasn't caused as many major issues as other bodies of water in the county, but the normally calm creek has made life for its shoreline residents challenging as well recently.

“The Crawfish is causing the most problems right now, has the highest water levels and it empties into the Rock River,” she said.
