Wisconsin Emergency Management personnel are in Kenosha County today,
actively working with county and municipal officials to compile a cost
estimate of the total damage caused by last week’s flooding.
A new supply of water test kits have arrived in Kenosha County early this afternoon.
Residents
whose wells were submerged by floodwaters are urged to disinfect and
test their well water before drinking it. Test kits, provided by the
state Department of Health Services, ran out in Kenosha County on
Sunday. The county is now in the process of receiving a supply of 300
additional kits.
The kits are available at the former Silver Lake
Village Hall, 113 S. First St., in the Village of Salem Lakes, the
Kenosha County Center at highways 45 and 50 in Bristol, and the Kenosha
County Job Center, 8600 Sheridan Road in Kenosha. Flood-affected
residents may pick up a kit at any location where they’re available.

County public health nurses remain available at the former Silver Lake
