Slow/no-wake to be lifted from river

   JANESVILLE

   Officials on Friday removed a slow/no-wake order for portions of the Rock River in southern Rock County, and slow/no-wake orders could be lifted from the river in northern part of the county early today, the Rock County Sheriff’s Office reported.

   A new countywide standard requires the sheriff’s office to issue slow/no-wake orders when water levels exceed 7.5 feet on Lake Koshkonong and 6.5 feet at Afton. The levels are based on readings by U.S. Geologic Survey river gauges.

   Water levels at Afton had fallen to 6.5 feet Friday, but they remained at 7.89 feet at Lake Koshkonong, according to the sheriff’s office.

   The sheriff’s office said slow/no-wake could be lifted early today for stretches of the river north of Janesville to the mouth of Lake Koshkonong.

When is an ordinance not an ordinance?!?!  Is 777.5 the trigger or not?!

And 778 is the level the RKLD was willing to go with as a trigger for SNW.
