We have either got those fixed or addressed in one way or the other, or the meters turned off, Mayor Carolyn Lofton said.
Lofton said a lot of resources have come in daily. Family of Faith Worship Center partnered with Marlin independent School District to give out undergarments, socks and t-shirts for 800 students in the district.

MARLIN, TX â Marlin s water is restoring after a week-long struggle with repairs at the Marlin Water Plant.
According to Marlin Mayor Carolyn Lofton, water has now been restored but officials are asking residents to limit their use today if they have received water thus far. The plant will need until tomorrow to fill all 4 towers, said Marlin Mayor Carolyn Lofton. The plant needs 24 hours to fill each tower with the 150,000 to 250,000 gallons they require. If you are first to receive water and you use all of the water in the first tower, it will take days to get water to the rest of the town.
