Jefferson County deals with springlike rains

From the Watertown Daily Times

...“The Crawfish and Rock above us are doing OK and are just at flood stage but they're able to absorb the water,” she said. “We're going to probably be OK, it will just take awhile for the water to go down.”

Some of the worst flooded areas can be found in the Fort Atkinson area where several roads such as the Bark River Road and Rock River Road are closed from high waters. Flooding is also happening around the shores of Lake Koshkonong and where the Rock River comes into Fort Atkinson.

...“The water level is very unusual for this time of year,” Freitag said. “When you get to the first of August the river is usually at a level of 4 feet. Now it is around a level of 11 feet. We're potentially one major storm away. It's an unnerving feature. Typically we don't see this and we may live with that for some time before the water goes down.”
