MARANA, Ariz. (KVOA) - Recent rainfall has slowed progress on the El Rio Preserve remediation project, Marana Parks & Recreation announced.

The preserve's lake, initially set to be refilled sooner, is now expected to see water later this month due to the weather conditions. Despite the delay, significant progress has been made with a large portion of cattails already removed.

"Our small, but mighty team is continuing to work as quickly and safely as possible," said Marana Parks & Recreation.
