The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is reminding boaters to stay safe on the water this Fourth of July weekend. During one of the busiest times of year for Wisconsin waterways, DNR conservation wardens and local law enforcement will be on high alert for anyone under the influence. This high alert is part of the annual National Operation Dry Water Campaign that will run this weekend and Monday. Alcohol use is a leading factor in recreational boating fatalities. Since the campaign started in 2009, law enforcement across the nation has removed more than 4,700 impaired operators from waterways, which has prevented dangerous and potentially devastating consequences. No matter where you are boating, it is illegal to operate a boat under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
