Welcome to the Village of Rockdale!
Rockdale has much to offer residents and visitors. Nestled at the edge of the CamRock parks, the village enjoys the natural beauty of Koshkonong Creek flowing through its center. This creek is used by canoers, kayakers, and fisherpeople alike. In addition, residents and visitors to Rockdale are seconds away from a nature walk or bike ride on a three mile groomed pedestrian path, meandering along Koshkonong Creek all the way to Cambridge. A new winter multi-use trail area will attract even more cross-country skiers, snowshoers, winter trail bike and nature enthusiasts. Only minutes from Madison, Janesville, and Milwaukee, Rockdale provides a quaint, rural atmosphere with many of the conveniences of urban living nearby.
The Village of Rockdale invites you to become involved in decisions designed to make our community a better place to live for all citizens.
Upcomming Elections:
Public Information Meeting for Rockdale Wastewater Regionalization with Cambridge Project
Post Date: Thursday, August 29, 2024
The Village of Rockdale is planning to regionalize wastewater treatment with the Village of Cambridge during late 2025 through 2026. The proposed project will involve modifications and conversions of the existing wastewater treatment plant, including abandoning sections of the existing wastewater treatment plant, converting section of a treatment plant into a pumping station, as well as the installation of underground piping between the Village of Rockdale and the Village of Cambridge along County Road B. These improvements are necessary to meet current Department of Natural Resources (DNR) codes and ensure sewer system compliance. The construction of the project is anticipated to last approximately one year and is estimated to cost $4.0 million.
We value your input on the proposed improvements. Please attend the information meeting to review the displays, ask questions, and share your thoughts. If you cannot attend but would like to receive information about the project, please contact the Village of Rockdale Clerk, Ann Gerlich, at (608) 423-1497 or by email at Clerk@RockdaleWI.gov, or the Village Engineer, Lukasz Lyzwa, at (608) 742-2169 or by email at rockdalewwtp@generalengineering.net
