Wisconsin Clean Boats - Clean Waters Law

Key points to remember as a boat owner:

1. Your boat and trailer must be free from vegetation before you launch and cleaned immediately after you exit a lake.
    

2. Bilge and live tank water must be emptied before  you leave to prevent the spread of larvae.
    

3. You can be cited by local or state police if your boat trailer has visible vegetation on it.
