The Town of Marion sent out a notice regarding a mandatory water restriction that is in effect until Sept. 15.

The restriction only allows outside watering between 6 and 8 a.m. and 6  and 8 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday and Friday for even street numbered homes, and Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday for odd street numbered homes.

Residents can wash vehicles and water plants on Sundays between 6 a.m. and 12 p.m. if they use a hand held hose.

According to Town Administrator Paul Dawson, these restrictions are routine and happen every year. The town did mention the restrictions on the most recent water bills, but wanted to post another notice online to make sure everyone knew.

The town also said these restrictions will be strictly enforced, and anyone found in violation will be fined $50 for the first offense and $100 for each subsequent offense.

Call the Marion Department of Public Works at 508-748-3540 with any question.
