Tyler, TX — The Smith County Municipal Utility District is encouraging all citizens to conserve water but some may have noticed Tyler fire hydrants being opened with water pouring out.
The City of Tyler tells KETK this is part of a state mandated maintenance to keep chemical levels down in the water.
With the temperatures being as hot as they have been the lines are having to be flushed more often.
The lines are under constant monitoring and have to be flushed when certain levels are reached.
Tyler officials tell KETK these line flushes are for the benefit of Tyler residents and to ensure the water is safe.

solve issues with nitrification. NO-DES is the only system that can safely inject chlorine back into the distribution system; and over time NO-DES also will pay for itself...
Check out our web site and you will see that NO-DES will be able to substantially improve your city's water supply by saving all of the water (which is currently wasted during your city's established flushing practices); NO-DES is the first environmentally sound method for flushing; it's the only real "Green" technology
The solution to all these flushing issues, can be simply and cost effectively solved with a new water main flushing technology called (NO-DES).
The NO-DES water main flushing system replaces conventional hydrant flushing that's being conducted by all cities. Our equipment not only saves the water (that is being wasted with current water main flushing methods) but saves the energy that's used to produce the water; it also improves the existing water quality (removes bio films) and helps solve
THIS THING HAS BEEN RUNNING FOR OVER 2 1/2 WEEKS NIGHT AND DAY. REDICULOUS.

Shouty here has a point, I realize we don't have the infrastructure to store that 'flush water' right now, but it's kind of a waste as it is now isn't it? Shouldn't we change it before the situation becomes more severe? Imagine a desert community spilling water this way, the people in charge wouldn't stay there very long would they!
WELL SHOULDN'T THE MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT STORE THAT WATER THAT THEY ARE LETTING OUT LIKE IN A STORAGE TANK OR SOMEWHERE TO ATLEAST LET PPL THAT HAVE NO WATER GET AHOLD OF THIS WATER SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO DO WITHOUT WATER INSTEAD OF WASTING IT LIKE THE COUNTY UTILITY SAYS WE'RE DOING. SHOWS HOW MUCH THE COUNTY LOOKS OUT FOR THE PPL THAT LIVE IN THE COUNTY, MAYBE STORE IT SOMEWHERE FOR THE VOUNTEER FIRE DEPTS. SO THEY CAN HAVE WATER TO PUT OUT FIRES ACROSS THE COUNTY INSTEAD OF BEING STENGY!!
