TYLER, Texas — The Tyler City Council approved contract with Precision Civil to build 13 sewer lines that will reroute in eight areas across the city of Tyler.
The construction project includes 700 miles of sewer lines to be restored as part of the Consent Decree with the Environmental Protection Agency to focus on Tyler's aging wastewater collection system and resulting discharges.
Project Engineer Tiffany Currie said the reroutes are necessary.
“Reroutes are typically needed because of excessive erosion of exposure in initial alignment the ease of access for maintenance in the future,” Currie said.
Construction is set to begin next month and to be completed in October 2024.
