Taking into account the current weather conditions, meteorological forecasts and the possible formation of a layer of ice, the prohibition of being on ice has been established in inland public and other waters under the jurisdiction of the Jūrmala municipality, as well as in the coastal waters of the sea adjacent to the administrative territory of the municipality.
The State Fire and Rescue Service and the Jūrmala Municipal Police call on citizens to be responsible, not to risk their health and life, as well as not to be indifferent when observing the reckless behavior of fellow citizens.
If you notice that people have gone too far from the shore on the ice or if a person has broken into the ice, you should immediately call 112. Also, experts recommend warning of the danger if children or young people are skating on the unsafe ice.
If you notice violations of the ban, the municipality invites you to inform the municipal police at any time of the day by phone number 8448. A warning or a fine of up to 100 euros can be imposed for disobeying the ban on being on the ice.
