Tyler Water Main Break Fixed

TYLER – A portion of Tyler faced a water problem today because of a water main break. But the problem has been repaired. For a while water ran across a section of the Old Jacksonville Highway and there were reports of low water pressure and no water. Tyler Water Utilities reported an 18 inch elbow joint separation at a water main off Old Jacksonville Highway. This caused low water pressure and water outages for some Tyler customers between Oakhill Boulevard and West Cumberland. Also, some Southern Utilities customers experienced low water pressure and water outages because the lines are connected by an emergency connection at that location.
