The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) is once again participating in Operation Dry Water (ODW), a boating under the influence (BUI) and enforcement campaign, that takes place July 4-6.
Boaters will notice an overall increase in officer patrols on the water this July 4th holiday.
Operating a boat with a Blood Alcohol Content of .08 percent or higher is illegal in Tennessee, the same as operating a motor vehicle. Penalties may include fines, jail, boat impoundment and the loss of boat driving privileges.
