June 21, 2022 - Press Release from City of Marion
The City of Marion released information today to begin distributing water to city residents beginning Thursday. This will take place at the old National Guard Armory located on Rochester Ave. You can find a pickup schedule and additional information on the Crittenden Press’s page and the City of Marion Facebook’s page.
The City of Marion met with regional partners today and have started entertaining the idea of Sturgis being a possible source for water. Engineers have started working out the details of what needs to be done to make Sturgis a short time water supplier for the city. We will release further information as it becomes available.
Webster County is working on expanding their maximum coverage to be able to provide the city with as much water as possible. It will be next week before we have additional information on engineering and testing on Webster.
Caldwell County is starting to finalize engineering plans to possibly start testing water flow. Next week they will begin the testing phase. We will provide information as it becomes available.
We continue to ask everyone to keep conserving water. If you have any questions about how you can help conserve water, please contact the public library or the extension office.
