Marion continues to face water problems as lake level falls
Marion city officials report the lake sits 4.83 feet below the spillway, down from 4.72 feet last week, with rainfall not enough to boost runoff. Officials note evaporation slows in damp days, and water use restrictions remain unenforced. The city pumps about 1 million gallons daily from Herrin. Street crews plan sidewalk replacements with a $50,000 budget and prioritization.
