I lived in Marlin, Texas, and experienced firsthand its significant water issues. Like many, I had to buy cases and gallons of water daily just to maintain a healthy and sustainable routine. But it's not just us residents who suffer. All the animals in Marlin endure the same struggle each day.

Our city confronts severe water issues that hamper both human and animal life. According to a report by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, the city's water system has repeatedly violated drinking water standards. (1) This crisis affects the everyday lives of Marlin's residents as they are burdened with the added expense and inconvenience of buying bottled water.

Marlin’s city council and leadership must address this urgent public health concern. As constituents, we must raise our voices to ensure they take immediate action. We must demand an effective and sustainable solution to Marlin's water system problems. The life and health of our community depend on it.

Sign this petition now to urge the city leadership and council of Marlin, Texas, to step up and resolve the ongoing water crisis.
