MARION COUNTY, Miss. (WDAM) - A boil water notice is now in place after three water lines busted in Marion County on Monday morning.

The broken water lines caused a water outage, which in turn caused West Marion schools to release early. Now, the water is back on and repairs are being done.

As a result, customers of Foxworth Water Association should boil their water until further notice. Crews will check the water on Tuesday.

The boil water notice affects around 100 customers in the area. Schools will be open tomorrow.
