From the Janesville Gazette HERE

..."I just hope people are operating their dams," said Sue Josheff, the lower Rock River supervisor for the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. "A lot of people own dams-municipalities, utilities, private people. They need to make sure they keep those spillways clean and flowing."

Yea, right. DNR has a fondness for Dams now? Nice try. DNR receives an operators report EVERY DAY.

...Up river, Lake Koshkonong has not had a slow/no wake enacted, and it won't happen, Jefferson County emergency management director Donna Haugom said. The county only enforces slow/no wake zones on rivers.

But the need for the zones in Jefferson County is determined by the water level in Lake Koshkonong. This morning, it was a foot short.

There is your answer, Blackhawk Island residents, the levels on the lake are too low for Ms. Haugom to issue a Slow/No Wake upstream.
