Lake Level at 776.21

Since July 17, RKLD has successfully kept Lake Koshkonong at DNR Summer Target - despite the extraordinary dry several weeks we have experienced.

Further proof that the Dam can ONLY regulate low water, it cannot solve high water/flood water conditions.

Prolonged heat wave settles in

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Forecasters aren't expecting relief from the oppressive heat wave in Wisconsin any time soon.

The combination of soaring temperatures and high humidity will last throughout the week. The National Weather Service issued an excessive heat warning for much of the state until 9 p.m. Monday. Afternoon heat indices will likely exceed 105 degrees.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration recommends frequent rest breaks in the shade or air conditioning for those that have to work outside.

Buoy Issue RESPONSE

Hi Brian,

We get complaints that the buoys are too close or too far from the dam.

I placed them according to the ordnance which is 1,000 feet from the dam.

I use a range finder to get the exact distance where before it was by guesstimating.

Buoy Issue

Please put the IndianFord buoys back to where they have been for years. The folks have been on the river since "63" and they have been posted out from the pier on 9111 N. Arrowhead Shores. The buoys have been slowly making there way to the damn.


Please put them back where they have been. Greatly appreciated

Who Can Vote in RKLD Elections?

Who Can Vote in RKLD Elections?

All district resident electors who are U.S. citizens, 18 years of age or older.

This includes resident property owners, renters, children 18 years and older whose residence is in the District, but not campers to the extent their permanent residence is not within the District. Ownership of more than one parcel does not entitle a property owner to more than one vote -

One eligible voter = one vote SESSMENT — PER PARCEL

Non-resident property owners

This includes a person whose name appears on the tax roll, as well as a person who owns title to property even though the person’s name doesn’t appear on the tax roll. However, it is up to the would-be voter to produce evidence to the District that they are an owner of property or designated representative of an organizational property owner (i.e. trust, foundation, corporation or other organization), such as a letter on organization letterhead that clearly authorizes that person to vote on behalf of the organization.
