Town of Sheboygan Falls Roundup: Flooding Impacts, Drug Take Back Day, Storm Alerts
Storm recovery and public safety updates headline the week for Town of Sheboygan Falls residents, as heavy rains, confirmed tornadoes, and a countywide drug take back event shape the days ahead.
Heavy Rains Swell Rivers in Sheboygan Falls Area
Repeated rounds of storms this past week led to flooding concerns across Sheboygan County, including in and around Sheboygan Falls. Local media reported that heavy rains caused rivers to rise and overflow their banks, impacting low-lying roads and prompting flood watches.
Residents in rural parts of the Town of Sheboygan Falls, especially those near waterways and drainage ditches, were urged to monitor conditions and avoid driving through standing water. While the most intense rainfall has moved out, saturated ground could mean renewed runoff if additional showers develop.
As of Saturday, April 18, cooler and breezy conditions have returned, with partly sunny skies and highs in the upper 40s. The drier stretch through early next week should help water levels recede.
NWS Confirms Tornadoes in Southeast Wisconsin
The National Weather Service confirmed six tornadoes in southeast Wisconsin from earlier-week storms. While the confirmed touchdowns were reported outside Sheboygan County, the same storm system moved through this area with strong winds and heavy rain.
Town residents are reminded that spring severe weather season is underway. Make sure weather alerts are enabled on mobile devices and review shelter plans, particularly for households with outbuildings, livestock, or limited basement access.
Prescription Drug Take Back Day – April 25
Sheboygan County’s next Prescription Drug Take Back Day is scheduled for Saturday, April 25. The event allows residents to safely dispose of unused or expired medications, helping prevent misuse and accidental poisoning.
Collection sites will be available throughout the county. Town of Sheboygan Falls residents can participate at designated law enforcement drop-off locations. Only pills and patches are typically accepted; liquids and sharps are generally excluded.
This event follows recent countywide public safety alerts tied to suspected overdoses, underscoring the importance of safe storage and disposal.
Election Updates and State-Level Visits
Following this month’s spring election, regional media continue to track certified results and upcoming transitions in local and state offices. In addition, gubernatorial candidates were scheduled to speak in Sheboygan County this week, drawing attention to statewide issues that could affect local funding, infrastructure, and schools.
Town residents are encouraged to watch for upcoming town board agendas and county board updates as post-election appointments and committee assignments move forward.
Looking Ahead
With improving weather expected Sunday into Monday, it may be a good window for residents to check sump pumps, clear storm drains, and inspect any minor property damage from the week’s storms.
As always, monitor official Town of Sheboygan Falls and Sheboygan County channels for road updates, emergency alerts, and meeting notices.
