BOATING AND WATER ORDINANCE
(Adopted April 4, 2006 by Ordinance 2006-5)

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Weber County Sheriff’s Office is charged with the enforcement and
regulation of the boating, water craft and other uses of the various rivers, lakes and reservoirs within
Weber County; and

WHEREAS, in the course of the Sheriff’s enforcement duties it is often necessary to cite
individuals for violations of the various state rules regulating conduct on the county’s waterways; and

rather than state code violations since violators are processed by county enforcement officers,
prosecuted in county courts by county prosecutors, and incarcerated, if necessary, in county jails;

NOW THEREFORE, be it ordained by the Weber County Commission as follows:
