According to the City of Marion Water and Sewer Department, water in Marion "will be depleted within the hour."
A representative there recommended drawing up as much water (for example, in the bathtub) as residents can hold. Next, he recommended using as much bottled water as possible. Finally, he suggested gathering up snow and boiling it.
State officials are urging strict water conservation until such time water services are restored. The government is seeking generators for those pump stations with outages due to the storm.
The phone went unanswered at the Crittenden-Livingston Water District.
