The Twin Lakes Village Board at a special board meeting Monday enacted a new speed limit of 55 mph for any boat on Lakes Mary and Elizabeth.
Village ordinances previously did not specify a maximum speed limit.
Violators of the speed limit can be fined $155.50.
“There are only a few boats that can hit those speeds,” said Trustee Kevin Fitzgerald.
The speed limit “shall not apply to police patrol boats in situations involving emergencies, or while
engaged in law enforcement, nor to boats participating in a duly authorized race, regatta or water ski meet duly
authorized by a permit while operating in the designated area authorized by said permit,” the new ordinance language says.
