RACINE COUNTY WISCONSIN

The Racine County Drainage District in Wisconsin received approval from the Department of Natural Resources to draw down the Rochester Dam beginning October 1 and to be complete by October 15 to facilitate the proposed dredging of Wind Lake and Goose Lake Branch Canals during the winter 2014-2015 season.

The water levels in the system from Rochester Dam to Waterford Dam and from Rochester Dam to Wind Lake Dam will be very low during this period.

It is anticipated that the impoundment will start to be refilled beginning February 15 depending on the status of the dredging project.
