Major Flooding Expected Upstream

From the Watertown Daily Times

...Watertown city Engineer Joe Radocay said his department is currently monitoring the levels of the Rock River and added everything seems to be normal.

“Right now it's a pretty typical spring runoff,” Radocay said. “So far there is nothing unusual.”

...“It is very important for individuals to be prepared by keeping materials on hand like sandbags, plywood, plastic sheeting, lumber and appropriate tools to use for emergency measures,” Haugom said. “We urge people to install check valves in building sewer traps to prevent flood water from backing up in sewer drains. Have a first-aid kit and portable radio available. Secure any outdoor items and have a plan on moving or elevating household belongings out of the way of flood waters.”
