Software error causes incorrect water bills

The City of Marlin issued a statement Sunday telling its citizens not to pay their October water bills.

The statement said there was a software error with its AVR program.

New bills will be generated and mailed out with correct billing information soon. Late fees will be waived for the month, according to the statement.

“We apologize for this inconvenience and hope to get this straightened out asap,” the statement reads.
