As the Independence Day holiday approaches, PennDOT, local law enforcement, the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission, and safety partners gathered at Blue Marsh Lake today to remind everyone that impaired driving and impaired boating put lives at risk.

Officials outlined increased DUI enforcement efforts that will take place on Berks County roads and waterways throughout the holiday period.
