As Fourth of July holiday celebrations are well underway, the California State Parks' Division of Boating and Waterways (DBW) is reminding recreational boaters to steer clear from alcohol while on the water.
In an effort to combat impaired boating, over 44 law enforcement entities across California will increase patrols and conduct boating under the influence checkpoints through Monday.
DBW deputy director Ramona Fernandez said higher water levels and a forecasted heat wave during the holiday will surely bring more people to California's waterways, which is why it is important for residents to stay vigilant while boating.
