Water to Leave Rockford

The dam in Rockford, Iowa has been scheduled to be removed in the fall of 2103. There has been major construction in Rockford in the last six months. The bridge from one side of the town to the other has been removed and is being rebuilt.  Once the dam has been removed the river bottom will have to be dredged to keep the river level acceptable.  Kelly Hain feels that the dam being removed will bring the water level down to the level that it won't be worth calling it a river.
