Fox River/Chain of Lakes Flood Reporting
This form is to be utilized by residents of the Chain of Lakes system to document when and where flooding occurs. The information will be logged into a database to identify operation or maintenance needs. The data provided is critical in determining potential operations and maintenance of the system. The Office of Water Resources may pursue project funding to reduce impacts. The more documentation that is received, the easier the agency is able to determine the priority of future actions. Click Here to identify any flooding at homes with photos and submit them to IDNR so they have a better idea of where the water is flooding. It will aid in mapping out where the water is rising and have data for the future.
