Council Approves $2.8 Million in Public Works Improvements

TYLER — Tyler’s City Council has approved spending almost $2.8 million for drainage and wastewater treatment plant improvements. One target is the Courtney Miller Drainage project, on the Half Cent Sales Tax project list for more than 20 years. Officials say the effort will address erosion and flooding issues across seventeen properties in southeastern Tyler. The city hopes to have the project done in about a year. The other effort seeks to improve operations at the Southside Wastewater Treatment Plant.
