Dock owners must post 911 address by next summer

A new law will affect boat dock owners at the Lake of the Ozarks in 2010 thanks to HB 657 sponsored by lake resident Representative Dr. Wayne Cooper (R - Camden County).

Beginning next summer all dock owners will be required by law to post the recognized 911 street address of the adjacent land. According to the bill, the 911 address must be displayed on the lake side of the dock in the area most visible from the channel or cove.

The address must be at at least three-inch block style lettering and should be in a contrasting color to the background on which it is displayed. The penalty for not posting this information is a $25 fine for each time the delinquency is cited. Click here to read the rest of the story.
