Rain, melting snow lead to debris along Chain O’ Lakes, Fox River

The Fox Waterway Agency is warning of “an abundance of debris on the water” along the Chain O’ Lakes and Fox River as the 2023 boating season approaches.

The agency will deploy its boats at the end of the month to begin debris removal, it said in an alert, noting higher than anticipated water levels because of rain and melting snow.

Concerns about debris and other nonemergency reports can be submitted through the agency website’s Customer Concern portal at foxwaterway.com/fox-waterway-concerns/.
