The boil water advisory for the City of Marion is still in effect.
On Tuesday, City Administrator Mark Bryant said crews replacing the city's water main nicked a line, leading to the advisory having been issued at 1 p.m. At the time, Bryant said the typical advisory is for 24 hours, but water quality tests from today have yet to come back. He said it would be at least 4 p.m. before he knew anything further.
Anyone using the city's water system should continue to bring water to a three-minute rolling boil before use in food preparation or for drinking.
Dr. Rachel Yarbrough, superintendent of schools, said students and staff at the county's schools have been supplied bottled water today to deal with drinking water issues.
