Weekend without water; Lake Worth community left high and dry

NEAR LAKE WORTH, Fla. -- A watercooler was the only source of water for hundreds of residents in a Lake Worth mobile home park for two days.

No shower, no baths, no water to cook with or even to flush the toilet for residents like Jean Pierre Fournier, for the past two days. His faucets have been dry since Saturday night when a water main break left him and hundreds of others without water for a weekend.

"I've been trying ot save water because we don't know when water is coming, nobody has told us nothing at all," said Fournier.

Fournier lives in the Lantana Cascade Mobile Home Park on Congress Avenue near Lantana Road, a community of about 400 mobile homes.

Rapid Rooter crews spent the day fixing the water main break and water was resotred late Monday afternoon. 

Park managers say the town of Lake Clarke Shores, which supplies their water, would not take responsibility for the situation. The mobile home park paid the repair bill and they say they hope to get reimbursed.
