The City of Marion has made changes to the way it will give away free water. The new schedule for bottled water distribution at the former armory is last names A-M on Thursdays and N-Z on Fridays, until further notice. The distribution center opens at 9 a.m., and closes at 6 p.m. It is also closed between noon and 2 p.m. Beginning Thursday, city residents will receive about 2 gallons of water per person in a household, which is a gallon less than in previous days.
