Rock County officials experienced a feeling of déjà vu when tallying public infrastructure damage from the Sept. 11 flood event.
The total was $283,000.
A similar flood event on June 20 caused an estimated $280,000 in damages across the county.
Commissioners signed a resolution declaring a state of emergency for the Sept. 11 event at their Sept. 24 meeting.
The declaration allows the county to apply for state disaster program aid, which reimburses 75 percent of the repair costs. The county, municipalities and townships where the damage occurred are responsible for 25 percent of the repair costs.
Eight townships and one municipality submitted damage estimates for the countywide damage total.
Rose Dell Township estimated the most damage at $35,000 followed by Luverne Township ($15,000), Denver and Vienna townships ($10,000 each), Battle Plain Township ($5,000), Mound Township ($4,000), Magnolia Township ($3,000) and Beaver Creek Township ($1,000).
The city of Luverne tallied $125,000 in damages and Rock County $75,000.
With the damage estimate submission, officials with Homeland and Security Management will verify costs before reimbursing the county, city and townships for the infrastructure damage caused by the Sept. 11 event.
