MARLIN, Texas Residents in Marlin can apply for FEMA aid until April 23.
By visiting this website, residents can access the application and request aid. The money that is granted by FEMA must be used for the purposes it is given for. This means if you request aid in fixing a broken pipe or paying temporary rent while you are under construction, the money must be used for those reasons.
The money requested by FEMA can only be in direct correlation to the Winter Storm. Mayor Carolyn Lofton encouraged her citizens to request aid if they need it, saying this is what it is here for.

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 The City of Marlin continues to work through issues with their water system.
On Sunday, water was reported to be continuing to slowly return to people, as the freshly-repaired city water plant pumped 1200 gallons per minute into the town.
According to Marlin Mayor Carolyn Lofton, water personnel are pumping 1300 gallons per minute into town on Monday, which is max pumping.
However, they are not seeing results in the town. They are working major leaks around town which is usurping water, Mayor Lofton said. The water is being turned off at the leak until repairs can be completed.
