In an effort to improve water quality, the Marion Water Division will complete localized flushing in the area of 374 Front Street today, Friday October 11, 2024. Flushing will occur between the hours of 8:00am and 12:00pm. It is not uncommon to experience low water pressure or discolored water during hydrant flushing. If possible, please avoid using water while the hydrant flushing is taking place to avoid drawing discolored water into your property's plumbing.
If your water appears discolored, run a cold water tap for up to 15 minutes, and keep the tap open until the water runs clear. If the water is not clear after 15 minutes, wait 15-30 minutes and try again. Do not run a tap that has a water filter connected to it, and avoid running a hot water tap because it could draw sediment into your hot water tank.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation and we apologize of any inconvenience this may cause. We appreciate your patience while the Water Division completes the flushing. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Marion DPW Office at (508) 748 3540.
