TYLER – \"\"Tyler Water Utilities (TWU) has lifted the Stage 2 mandatory water restrictions that went into effect earlier this month while the Lake Palestine Water Treatment Plant was offline after multiple critical equipment failures and flooding in the filter pipe gallery. To help protect the system and maintain reliable service citywide during that time, TWU activated Stage 2 of the City\u2019s Drought Contingency and Emergency Demand Management Plan, which called for a 10% reduction in total daily water use. Repairs have progressed enough to allow the plant to resume operations safely. With both the Lake Palestine and Golden Road Water Treatment Plants now contributing to the water supply, system pressure and capacity have stabilized. <\/p>\n

\u201cThanks to the community\u2019s conservation efforts, we were able to maintain steady service while we made significant repairs,\u201d said Utilities Director Kate Dietz, P.E. \u201cYour patience and cooperation made all the difference.\u201d <\/p>\n

Currently, six of the eight filters are back online at a reduced capacity. TWU crews will be working with a contractor from now through the spring to rehabilitate the filter underdrains, media, and replace additional valves in the filter gallery. Once these rehabilitations are complete, the Lake Palestine Water Treatment Plant will be back at full capacity. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
