Good morning, Bradenton.
🌲 Environment
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.
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.
🏥 Health
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.
