The Carmel Police Department will be participating in the annual “Operation Dry Water” campaign next weekend to reduce the number of alcohol- and drug-related incidents and fatalities on the water. It's a nationally coordinated effort to educate boaters about the dangers of boating while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. July 2nd through 4th is the national weekend of amplified recreational boater outreach, education and coordinated enforcement surrounding boating under the influence.
