GREENFIELD, MA (FRANKLIN COUNTY NOW) — The Connecticut River Task Force will be participating in “Operation Dry Water,” a nationwide effort to maintain safety while boating over the holiday weekend.
The Task Force is a collaboration between local and state law enforcement agencies to enhance the safety and enforce regulations around the river.
Alcohol is the leading contributing factor in fatal boating accidents and state law prohibits operating a vessel while under the influence, so the Task Force will be conducting additional enforcement this Fourth of July.
