Cool Days Lift Marion Reservoir Water Five Inches
Three days of cool weather and voluntary conservation raised Marion’s five-million gallon reservoir about six inches. The reservoir had fallen from five feet above the intake to two feet but now has regained six inches of the three foot loss. City officials urge continued conservation as pumping from Crab Orchard Lake is added to stabilize supply. The plan includes an emergency eight inch line feeding about 1.2 million gallons daily to the city lake and a new 16 inch raw water line expected to deliver three million gallons daily within three months to refill the plant.
