Summer Water Safety
As summer starts and we head out to our lakes and reservoirs, make sure that water safety is part of your plans.
Tragically, there are drownings every summer.
Taking precautions can help prevent these incidents.
Utah DNR reports that nationally, 80% of people who drowned in boating accidents would have survived had they been wearing a life jacket.
