Major Renovation of Water Treatment Plant

KILGORE — After nine months of major renovations, Kilgore’s surface water treatment plant is being put back into operation by pumping treated water into the system. It began Wednesday morning at 9 a.m. The City of Kilgore has been using all groundwater from wells since last October. Officials say with the increase of water being delivered in to the system, citizens may experience discolored water from disturbances to the 70-year-old cast iron pipes. This should clear within a few days. If issues persist contact Kilgore City Hall.
