Jefferson County - SLOW NO-WAKE

PRESS RELEASE

March 20, 2008


Sheriff Paul Milbrath and Jefferson County Emergency Management Director Donna Haugom report that due to possible wave damage from high water, Jefferson County has enacted the Jefferson County Slow No Wake Ordinance which will now be in effect on all rivers and streams within Jefferson County. Slow No Wake means that all water craft shall operate at the slowest speed possible and still maintain forward motion and steering control. Due to current conditions, it is recommended that boaters stay off rivers and streams until the water has receded to a safe level.
