NS:FL/PALM BEACH/WATER

Shot 06/14/2011 FL:West Palm Water Shortage West Palm Beach, Florida The city of West Palm Beach could run out of water in 45 days. The mayor says without any significant rainfall, the city’s water supply could disappear even sooner than that. Now residents in West Palm Beach, Palm Beach and South Palm Beach are under strict water restrictions. Until further notice those residents can only water their lawns on Wednesday or Thursday mornings, depending on the street address. "I don't think the public realizes this is a critical issue. We haven't had rain, usually it starts in May, and it hasn't," says West Palm Beach Mayor Jeri Muoio. Half of the water used in West Palm Beach goes to the grass. Muoio says the diminishing water supply can't support that anymore. She says the situation is so dire, all city employees are to look out for those breaking the water restriction rules.## FL:Boat Capsized/11 Rescued Delray Beach, Florida FL:West Palm Water Shortage West Palm Beach, Florida##
