Good morning, Bradenton. Here's your local news at a glance for Saturday, the 31st of January.

ENVIRONMENT NEWS

  • County officials warn that Manatee County could face a water shortage in the next decade if current water use continues. Projections show a 13% increase in daily water demand from 48 to 54 million gallons — local leaders urge smarter water management and stronger protection for recharge areas.  The Bradenton Times
  • Residents in the Suncoast are experiencing static shocks when they touch car doors, pet animals, or grab shopping carts. The shocks are due to a dry Arctic air mass lowering humidity, creating ideal conditions for static buildup.  ABC7

HEALTH NEWS

  • Manatee and Hillsborough counties reported a measles case on Jan. 17, with six cases overall in January. Health officials advise getting your MMR vaccine — the best protection — as measles is highly contagious and can seriously affect children under 5.  The Bradenton Times
