Marion Water Crisis: Ups and Downs


There's good news on the water crisis front, but some troubling issues are re-emerging.

The good news is that recent rainfall and runoff has left Old City Lake – currently Marion's only raw water source – in a favorable position heading into the Christmas weekend when water usage will almost certainly be in high demand.

At Monday night's Marion City Council meeting; however, it was revealed that water leaks are on the rise once again.

This week's full edition of The Crittenden Press will have a report from the council meeting and a closer look at the city's response to the ongoing water crisis, including input form the mayor-elect.

Also in this week's community newspaper, you will find information that could affect your garbage collection and much more.

The Press will be on sale today at our office and participating vendors. You can also get the newspaper electronically under our Subscribe button for as little as $2.95 per month.
