The Tyler City Council approved updates to Chapter 19 of the City Code for Lake Tyler and Lake Tyler East. The changes focus on safety, protecting the lakes as a drinking water source, and keeping the environment healthy.

Highlights include:

• Clearer rules for boating and watercraft

• Updated standards for lake lot construction and leases

• Stronger plumbing and sanitation protections for water quality

• Clarified City oversight of lake waters and property

• An updated fee schedule to support lake management

Your input matters! Tyler Water Utilities held a community meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 8, from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at The Boulders, 16822 McElroy Road, to hear your thoughts, ideas, and priorities. Your feedback will help guide the future of conservation, recreation, and sustainability at Lake Tyler and Lake Tyler East.

The Tyler City Council will receive a presentation of the draft Lake Tyler Master Plan for review and discussion. 

This is the final day to provide your feedback on the Lake Tyler Master Plan Draft presentation.

The City of Tyler is seeking grant funding to improve the Hill Creek Park Boat Ramp. Portions of the property are located within the 100-year floodplain, and construction is proposed within the floodplain. However, environmental reporting will be conducted and permission granted prior to construction. The public can review the preliminary site plan.

The Lake Tyler Master Plan is set to be adopted in early 2026. However, it is important to note that the Master Plan is a planning document rather than an implementation schedule. After its adoption, each proposed improvement will still need to undergo a feasibility review, funding evaluation, and prioritization process before any work can begin.
