đź“Ł Water Main Break Impacts Citywide Service
A 24-inch water main break Tuesday morning in the 1600 block of Spring Street in Marshall is disrupting the city’s water supply. Many areas across the city are experiencing low water pressure while others are without water. This break is being described as a major transmission line.
The City of Marshall has been declared a local state of disaster. The formal declaration allows access to assistance from other state and local agencies, according to Emergency Management officials.
In the declaration signed by Marshall Mayor Amy Ware states, “extraordinary measures must be taken to alleviate the suffering of people and protect and rehabilitate property.”
The City has also activated its Emergency Operations Center, which is a coordinated, centralized response involving city staff to support incident management. Fire Chief David Rainwater serves as the Emergency Management Coordinator.
As of Tuesday morning, many area businesses across the city have announced closures. City and county offices are closed. The Marshall Independent School District has cancelled classes.
While repair work gets underway, residents and businesses are asked to voluntarily conserve water during this time to help reduce strain on the utility operations system. Outdoor burning is banned.
The Emergency Operations Center is closely monitoring water levels.
