Tyler water line extension gets $2.1 million contract approval
TYLER, Texas (KETK) – In order to improve water pressure in the City of Tyler, a 12-inch water line extension will be built in North Tyler that will close a critical gap in the city's water system.

The Tyler City Council approved a $2.1 million construction contract with A.E. Shull to build the extension from Highway 271 to FM 14 and North Broadway Avenue. The water line currently ends south of Gentry Parkway, but the extension would expand the line north past Loop 323 and allow it to connect with an existing 16-inch water line on FM 14.
'This is about building a stronger, more connected water network for Tyler residents,' Utilities Director Kate Dietz said, 'By looping these lines, we can provide more reliable service and better water quality.'
The project is outlined in TWU's Water Distribution System Master Plan, which focuses on projects keeping the distribution system up to date while improving day-to-day service for the community.
The project is expected to begin this summer and will be completed within eight months.
