Personal watercraft, wet bikes, motorized surfboards and similar devices will be banned on Lake Austin on July Fourth, police said today.
The ban will take affect Saturday from sunrise to sunset. Police will patrol Lake Austin this weekend and are urging people using the lake to obey state and city boating laws and ordinances. Police urge boaters to call 911 to report reckless operations of boats or emergencies.
The annual ban of personal watercraft is needed to ensure the safety of the large number of people who use the lake and parks over the holiday, according to a press release from the Austin Police Department.
