It's called Operation Dry Water and it's a major emphasis coming up on June 24 through the 26 on waters around Yakima County and the State. Deputy Scot Swallow with the Yakima County Sheriff's Office says the weekend is designed to find people who drink and boat and put an end to impaired boating..."quite honestly here in Yakima County we don't have that much of a problem and we'd like to keep it that way."
Deputy Swallow says while the emphasis called Operation Dry Water will be held this coming weekend the waters around the county are patrolled throughout the summer. And the Deputy says it's not just law enforcement looking for drunk boaters. He says other boaters also act as eyes and ears for law enforcement.
