Who We Are
Who We Are
Marion Utilities is an organization comprised of four individual and independent utility divisions; Water, Wastewater, Solid Waste, and Stormwater. Although the utilities share common administrative and managerial oversight, by state statute, each division must remain financially independent of the others. Revenues from one utility division may not be used in support of another. Operational and Capital Improvement Budgets for each division are funded independently through revenues generated by the division.
The Utility Service Board provides general purview over the operations and functions of the Water, Wastewater, Solid Waste, and Stormwater Utilities. The Board establishes policy, approves budgets and capital expenditures, and recommends ordinances to the City Council providing for adequate financial and functional support of the utilities. The Board employs competent leadership and technical expertise to direct the business and day-to-day operational elements of the utilities.

Our History
Our History
The Water Utility was first established in Marion in 1877 as a means of providing fire protection and potable water supply for a growing and thriving community. For over 100 years, utility services have grown and evolved to meet the ever-changing and demanding needs of the city. Sewer installation began in the late 1800's and was followed by the construction of the wastewater treatment plant beginning in 1938. In 1971, Marion Utilities was officially established and assumed responsibility for managing, operating, and maintaining water and wastewater services for the community. Stormwater services were added in 1995, and the Solid Waste utility was created by the city council in 2014 and began operation in 2015.
