Work after flood not yet receding

Daily Jefferson County Union

...Wisconsin was inundated with rain - approximately 13 inches in the Fort Atkinson area - on the weekend of June 7-8, 2008, pushing already-swollen river levels up and causing extensive damage, including washing out a levy that formed the popular Lake Delton near the Wisconsin Dells.

In the Jefferson County area, record-setting water levels were recorded at gauges along the Rock River from Watertown to Newville and beyond.

One year later, with rivers and lakes at comfortably "normal" levels, Jefferson County Emergency Management director Donna Haugom continues to spend nearly all of her time dealing with long-term recovery efforts related to what's become known as "The Flood of 2008."
