On Sept. 30, 2024, the city declared a Stage 4 Water Conservation Alert for residents and businesses connected to the City of Marshall’s water system. The alert was issued as a result of a failed water pump which caused the city’s reservoir, usually full at 14 feet, to begin losing water a half a foot every two hours until it reached a depth of 2.
5 feet. With contractors and Public Works staff actively working together, a number of measures were taken to create two bypass pumps which allowed enough flow to return the reservoir to its normal level while new pumps were being fabricated. The construction of the pumps, check valves, and piping is being finalized.
Barring any delays due to weather or unforeseen circumstances, the pumps will be installed and put into service by mid-November. Until the installation is completed, the community is asked to continue water conservation efforts. When the Stage 4 Water Conservation Alert has been rescinded, the notifications will be shared on the city’s website, Facebook page, newsletter, and via the mass notification system.
