The city of Tyler is hopeful boil water restrictions will be lifted early next week.

Still, many in East Texas remain without water or are dealing with low water pressure. "We had a lack of water for about a day and a half," Tyler Resident Joe Buie said. Buie is just one of many in Tyler who didn't have water for an extended time this week. "While our water was out, we were collecting water any way we could, you know, from icicles, you know, digging up snow," Buie said.
