Appeal for Marton residents to conserve water.

December 15, 2020

Recent high rainfall has made the water treatment process more challenging.

The treatment process has slowed while public water demand has remained the same, resulting in less water in the Marton treated water storage tank.

To prevent the treated water storage tank from running low, we need the Marton community to conserve water where possible.

We expect the situation will improve over the next two to three weeks.

We will inform the Marton community of our storage capacity progress by adding the treated water reservoir level on our website. And, we'll update the public when the issue is resolved.
