Mark Your Calendars

On Thursday, Dec 15th at 6:00pm

Then Rock County Board of Supervisors will conduct a Public Hearing to consider their amended ordinance on imposing Slow NO WAKE orders on the Rock River.

The Public Hearing will allow citizens to express their support and/or concerns regarding at what level SNW is imposed.

RKLD worked collaboratively with the RC Corp. Counsel, drafting their ordinance to comply with state statutes.  However, a county committee chose to ignore RKLD's effort to establish a reasonable level for SNW.

RKLD opposes the county and Town of Fulton's level of 777.5 for SNW.

We have been, and will continue to, post data presented to the county committee here on the RKLD website that justifies a higher trigger for SNW - insuring all user groups are treated fairly and personal property is protected.

At 777.5, there is no justification for a SNW order to be in effect.

More will be posted and emailed as we approach Dec 15th, including phone numbers for you to call if you are unable to attend the public hearing.

This will be the last opportunity for property owners, business owners and other user groups of Lake Koshkonong and the Rock River to express their concerns on limiting use and enjoyment of our shoreline property.
