New Braunfels Utilities Begins East South Street and South Central Avenue Water Line Realignment Project

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

(New Braunfels, TX – June 17, 2022) – New Braunfels Utilities (NBU) will begin work on its $425,000 East South Street and South Central Avenue Water Line Realignment Project on June 20, 2022. The project will improve the area’s aging water infrastructure in connection with the City of New Braunfels completing its roadway project.

The East South Street and South Central Avenue Water Line Realignment Project will relocate and replace approximately 900 linear feet (LF) of the existing six-inch water line between South Union Avenue and South Houston Avenue with an eight-inch water line. Additionally, the Project will relocate approximately 100 LF of the existing eight-inch water line from the East South Street intersection toward Common Street.

MGC Contractors is scheduled to begin work on June 20, 2022, and complete construction in mid-August 2022. The water line realignment will require roadways to be closed to thru-traffic. Vehicular access to residences and businesses will be maintained at all times; however, minor detours may be required for short periods of time during water line and customer service line tie-ins.

New Braunfels Utilities provides up-to-date traffic impacts for projects such as this one on nbutexas.com/current-construction-impacts-and-road-closures, and on its Facebook and Twitter social media channels.

Contact Desirae Medellin at 830.608.8831 or dmedellin@nbutexas.com with any questions regarding the Project.
