Area businesses set up a committee and a fund to help with cleanup efforts from Indianford to Fort Atkinson on the Rock River, as well as property on Lake Koshkonong. Assistance including removal and disposal of sandbags and building materials will be provided to neighborhoods within the Rock-Koshkonong Lake District.

A committee of volunteers will allocate funds to contractors, landfills and waste companies who conduct cleanup efforts and collect waste material. No proceeds will be allocated directly to individual homeowners.
