Construction of New Water Main Underway

TYLER — Tyler Water Utilities has begun construction of a new water main on the east end of Jeb Stuart. Work began Friday and is expected to continue for approximately 10 days from that date. It is anticipated that construction will cross some residential driveways, possibly limiting access. “The City of Tyler appreciates the patience of the residents in the area while we complete this important project,” said Public Works Managing Director Greg Morgan. Officials say the project will enhance fire protection for the citizens in the area. They say by increasing the diameter of the line, more hydrants may be added with greater water pressure.
