ABOUT
It’s been nearly five years since the founders of Clean Wake LLC sat in a long line at the Bullfrog decontamination station and thought, “there must be a better way”. The kids were sunburned, sand blasted and ready to head home after a 5-day camping and boating excursion at Lake Powell. They watched as the DNR staff worked to dutifully decontaminate boats of all shapes and sizes. The climbed under and around boats to inspect them and flush hot water through intake systems that were far from standardized. This was a time consuming and challenging process.
It was at this moment that an idea was formed and the initial collaboration with Utah’s AIS group began. How about a big tank of water! Big enough for the largest wake boarding style boats! This tank would hold hot water and would remove the guess work that comes from accommodating endless design variability for boat raw water intake systems.
We now have four sites in operation in Utah with several more planned and discussions are underway with several other states. The boat decontamination system has been proven as an effective and highly effective method of preventing the spread of aquatic invasive species.
