Tyler announces comprehensive updates

TYLER — The city of Tyler said Thursday, this is a difficult time for the community, but progress is being made. Power remains on at the Lake Palestine pump station and treated water is pumping into the City’s main lines. We anticipate we will be able to meet current water demand levels by Friday if all benchmarks are met and if residents continue to conserve water. If power is lost again, or we see a sharp increase in utilization, these time frames will be adjusted. As far as those needing emergency response, call 911. Tyler Police continue responding to emergency calls, as well as welfare checks. Tyler Fire remains active in aiding warming centers in sourcing supplies and generators. Roadways continue to have full crews that worked Wednesday night into Thursday. All three sanding trucks are in operation, focusing on sanding and de-icing major bridges, overpasses and around hospitals, as well as sanding around facilities with essential operations in the Cumberland area.
