(New Braunfels, TX – April 7, 2022) – New Braunfels Utilities (NBU) began major construction work on the Castell Avenue 24-inch Waterline Project in May 2021. It is one of NBU’s 145 Capital Improvement Projects budgeted at $14.7 million. Upon completion, the Project will add an additional 24-inch transmission mainline that will send water from downtown New Braunfels to the County Line ground storage tank and replace aging infrastructure, reducing water main breaks and lowering long-term repair costs.

As part of this Project, Castell Avenue between Elm Street and Coll Street will be closed through May 16, 2022, to allow D. Guerra Construction to install sewer lines and 24-inch pipe.

Construction on Castell Avenue between Faust Street and Merriweather Street is complete, and the roadway is open.

New Braunfels Utilities will provide up-to-date traffic impacts for Capital Improvement Projects such as this one on nbutexas.com/current-construction-impacts-and-road-closures and on its Facebook and Twitter social media channels.

All work is expected to be completed as scheduled, weather permitting.

Contact Desirae Medellin at 830.608.8971 or dmedellin@nbutexas.com with any questions regarding the Project.
