Fresh questions regarding water safety, after three separate drownings in the Stateline over the past day. Here's a look at quarry safety, both in South Beloit, where the first victim drowned, and here in Rockford.

28-year old Ezekiel Andrews was swimming with friends in the Stateline Quarry in South Beloit, when something went very wrong. He panicked and never came back up out of the water.
The quarry is owned by Rockford Sand and Gravel. Representatives say they do their best to keep the site safe and wish people would obey no tresspassing signs.
"We've done everything we can and this tragedy did not have to happen but it did," says Sue Grans, of Rockford Sand and Gravel.
There are fences surrounding all Sand and Gravel's quarries and private security guards. But the guards roam from site to site and neighbors who watch people hang out in the South Beloit quarry say they want a 24-hour presence.
"He did beef up security, but it's here sporadically, maybe on the weekends but it's not sporadic, people are here all the time," says Robin Dauenbaugh, a Stateline Quarry neighbor.
Rockford Sand and Gravel also owns the Sandy Hollow Quarry in Rockford, neighbors say since they brought a tall fence in, people seem to be obeying the rules and steering clear of the dangers.
"Since that's been up we haven't seen anybody going down there. They used to park here in the circle and walk down and go fishing, but you don't see that anymore," says Harold Grueneberg, a Sandy Hollow Quarry neighbor.
Sand and Gravel wants more success stories like that and they say they'll be reviewing all securities procedures moving forward.
"We will probably continue to increase the surveillance we'll go out there and probably fix and patch the fences more often," says Grans.
Grans says people will always try to break in but all they can do is hope their efforts will be enough to prevent another tragedy.

Quarries are so dangerous to swim in because there are different layers in the bottom. There could be boulders in places, or drop off sharply in other places. Also the water levels are higher this year because of all the flooding, quarries often serve as spillways for flooding as well.

Grans says the private security the company hired helped arrest 15 people and chase off dozens more over the past two months alone. She does not think it would be feasible to keep security on hand 24-hours at all the company's sites.
