Wondering if the city has any responsibility considering the history. Quoting another site, "On July 26, 2022, a secondary dam on the city reservoir was breached after over four inches of rain fell near Nashville in less than 12 hours, causing a 6-foot breach and flooding nearly 40 acres of land between Ashley, Illinois, and Nashville, according to Washington County records."

Climate change. We are getting tons of rain up here in Ogle Co. The air holds 15% more water due to Climate Change. A cubic foot of water weighs 62.4 lbs. water is very heavy stuff.
