Marion flushing water lines next few evenings

The City of Marion will be conducting a systematic flushing of water lines starting today at roughly 9 p.m. The flushing of hydrants will take place in different areas across town for a few hours each night through Sunday evening.

The city periodically flushes its system to maintain the quality of water. Water main flushing can result in discolored water. These conditions are not harmful and should not last very long. Briefly running the cold water tap may help to clear discolored water.
