PWSD3 was established in 1977 by a group of rural residents who knew the importance of water. The original Board of Directors was instrumental in phasing the first water lines into areas surrounding Marshall.

The District’s first waterlines were laid using PVC in the spring of 1982. It was pressurized by July 1982 and 151 meters were installed.

Currently, over 400 miles of pipes supply water to 1183 meters. On average, a new meter is set each month.

Throughout the years, a select group of Operators have overseen the expansion and upkeep of the water pipelines in the region.
