Protective measures

Utility Department Magnet

The City of Marathon Utility Department would like to remind its residents and tourists that items that might say “flushable” most likely are not. Items such as cleaning wipes, disposable diapers, hair, grease, condoms, facial wipes, and feminine hygiene products such as tampons and pads, belong in the trash and not the toilet. These items can clog our sewer lines and damage pumps and other equipment. Not only are these problems expensive to fix, they can also cause raw sewage to overflow into homes, businesses, and the local waterways. So, think trash, not toilets!

UPDATE: 

If you have purchased a new vehicle, but it is not registered in Marathon and you own property in Marathon, you will need to register the vehicle using the forms below.

 Being registered at the DMV alone does not count as they are a separate agency.
