Marion to distribute water to residents during latest restrictions

The City of Marion will distribute water to city customers in September in an effort to help during the latest round of restrictions due to low reservoir levels in Lake George.

The distribution of 20-gallon jugs will take place the week of September 8th through 13th from 9 to 5 at the wastewater treatment plant located on Pippi Hardin Drive. 

The water is for Marion residential households, and customers will need to have a copy of their water bill to collect the water. Paperless customers need to have their phones for verification.

Some may be picking up water for family members, and that is allowed. Officials said you need to have a copy of that individual’s bill, as well. Those living in apartments where water is included should seek a letter from the complex management.

An additional distribution is planned for October.

The City of Marion reinstituted Stage 3 water restrictions -the most stringent level- back on August 11th due to the continued lack of significant rain. Restrictions will remain in place until further notice.
