Lake Delton Could Be Filled Again By Next Spring
Lake Was Emptied When Levee Breached In Flooding

The Lake Delton village board says the state Department of Transportation will handle repairs to the breach in the community's empty lake and adjacent highway with the hope of restoring the lake by next spring.
Board members decided Monday to forgo the bidding process for the repairs so cleanup and restoration won't be delayed.
The village board also is working to get back into the National Flood Insurance Program.
Village attorney Richard Cross says even if Lake Delton is accepted into the program, there's no guarantee how much disaster assistance home and business owners will receive.
Heavy rain caused a breach in a portion of the lake June 9, diverting water to the Wisconsin River, destroying five homes, part of Highway A and emptying the lake.
