GRAND JUNCTION -

All this hot weather we've been seeing lately is drawing people to the water by the dozens.

Many are out boating and having a good time, but some are also drinking.

Officials are warning you that the three can be a lethal combination.

Western Slope law enforcement is on the water this weekend enforcing the law.

It’s all part of Operation Dry Water, a nationwide effort that includes increased and focused patrols.

In Colorado last year, boating under the influence was the leading contributor in recreational boating deaths.
