(New Braunfels, TX \u2013 February 15, 2022) \u2013 New Braunfels Utilities (NBU) will begin work on its $11,530,335 Surface Water Treatment Plant (SWTP) Capital Improvement Project this month. The SWTP Water Line Project will provide additional transmission capacity to deliver clean, high-quality drinking water to our community upon completion and for decades to come. When completed, the Project will help to alleviate high-pressure issues in the area when the Headwaters at the Comal, the Surface Water Treatment Plant, and Landa Park pumps are running simultaneously.       <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis Water Line Project will provide the much-needed transmission capacity to support NBU\u2019s Landa Park pump station expansion, which will add an additional 4.0 Million Gallons per Day (MGD), and meet transmission capacity needs to support the future Surface Water Treatment Plant Expansion Project.
Once complete, the SWTP expansion will add an additional 8.0 MGD per day.\u201d said Chief Engineer of Water Services, Shawn Schorn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SWTP discharge line will consist of a new 30-inch water line that will begin at NBU\u2019s SWTP, located at 2356 Gruene Road, cross the Guadalupe River, run along Rivercrest Drive, Gruene Road, and Waterway Lane, finally connecting to NBU\u2019s FM 306 Pump Station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SWTP Water Line Project will cover approximately 2.5 miles, constructing approximately 12,800 linear feet (LF) of 24-inch and 30-inch water main. Work will include trenching\/backfill, trench safety, curved micro-tunneling, jacking\/boring, fittings, valves, connections, and other appurtenances, generally from the SWTP, located on Gruene Road to the FM 306 Pump Station, located at 2320 East Common Street. Much of the work will be done along Rivercrest Drive, Gruene Road, and Waterway Lane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201c<\/strong>New Braunfels Utilities is investing more than $688 million into 145 projects over the next five years.
A number of these projects will overlap as we replace, upgrade, or install new infrastructure to meet the needs of our growing community. The SWTP Project is a prime example of that. The Landa Park Pump Station expansion that will add additional water supply will be connected to the SWTP Water Line Project, which will dove-tail into NBU\u2019s planned SWTP Expansion Project,\u201d said Chief Strategic Communications and Safety Officer, Melissa Krause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SWTP Water Line Project is scheduled for completion in the Spring of 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project\u2019s first road closure is scheduled to begin Monday, February 21, and complete on Friday, April 1, 2022. Crews with Pesado Construction will be installing a bore under Common Street and Waterway Lane to install pipe by excavating along Waterway Lane. Road and lane closures, along with detour routes will be clearly marked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
