🚧 Report a Pothole
The extreme winter weather in January and February left many Marion streets with potholes!
Over the past two months, our Street Department has been using a temporary patching material to make quick repairs. Asphalt is a seasonal product and should become available to the city in April, weather permitting.
In the meantime, each Marion City Council member is touring their ward and submitting repair locations to the Public Works Committee. Our Marion Police Department and Public Works employees are also identifying locations that need repair.
Please reply with the address or location of potholes that need repair, and we will add them to the list.
Repairs will be prioritized, and prep work will begin as soon as possible.
