16.04.010 Purpose.

The increased use of the waters of the county by fishermen, water-skiers, boaters, swimmers and other persons has created dangers to life and property. Federal and state laws and regulations fail to control all unsafe practices related to water regulation in these bodies of water. It is therefore necessary for the protection and preservation of the safety and general welfare of the users of these waters that the following regulations be adopted to supplement existing state and federal boating laws.
