Boil water order issued for Marion

A citywide boil water advisory has been issued for Marion residents until further notice.

City Administrator Mark Bryant reported effective 1 p.m. today that all water from the city utility used for drinking or food preparation should be brought to a rolling boil for at least three minutes before use. The advisory was issued due to a leak caused during construction of the city's new water main on South Main Street.

The advisory is in effect until further notice, though the problem is being rectified at present. The typical advisory lasts for 24 hours.

The order does not affect rural subscribers to Crittenden-Livingston Water District.

For more information, contact Bryant at 965-2266.
