Marshall Municpal Utilities Water Operations Manager Jeff Larson explains the pipelines and equipment that will allow Marshallâs city water plant to pre-soften the water.
MARSHALL It was a big undertaking, but a project to add water softening equipment to Marshall’s municipal water treatment plant is now operational.
Over the next few weeks, Marshall Municipal Utilities staff will be working on taking city water from 35 grains of hardness down to about eight or nine grains, MMU Water Operations Manager Jeff Larson said.
“We are dialing the hardness down as we speak,” Larson said the process should happen over the next few weeks. Larson said MMU is targeting June 1 as the day when Marshall residents can reset their water softeners. “We didn’t want to have people have to adjust their softeners multiple times.”

Dennis Scarborough has been named Marshall Municipal Utilities “Employee of the Quarter” for the quarter ending December 31, 2020.
In nominating Scarborough, Electric Production Director Carl Crawford highlighted Scarborough’s work as a Dispatch Operator in Electric Production.
“Dennis does a great job on a day-to-day basis as a Dispatch Operator from midnight to 8:00 a.m. The ‘backshift’ is a somewhat thankless job due to the fact it isn’t normally seen and is easily forgotten.” Crawford continued, “He is a very reliable and dependable employee who has definitely seen his share of overtime during the COVID-19 pandemic.”
