Enjoy Water Recreation Safely
Electricity and water are dangerous around larger bodies of water. If you plan to go boating or fishing this summer, be aware of your surroundings and potential electrical hazards.
Never go swimming near boats plugged into shore power or docks with electrical service.
Check for the location of power lines before fishing. Make sure you are casting the line far away from power lines to avoid contact.
Contact between your boat and a power line could be devastating. Maintain a distance of at least 10 feet between your boat and nearby power lines to be safe.
If your boat comes in contact with a power line, never jump out of the boat into the water— the water could be energized. Stay in the boat and avoid touching anything metal until help arrives or until your boat is no longer in contact with the line.
