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."
