WAUPACA COUNTY, WI (WTAQ) – Boaters on one local waterway are urged to slow down.
Waupaca County Emergency Management officials have declared a flood emergency for waters south of New London, due to forecasted rain.
As a result, boaters on the Wolf River have to reduce their speeds.
Boats must travel at slow-no-wake speeds when within 500 feet of any permanent building.
The order takes effect Friday at 3 pm and continues until county officials determine waters are back to non-threatening levels.
