en.Wedoany.com Reported - New Braunfels Utilities (NBU) initiated the final phase of its sewer mainline rehabilitation and relocation project on Gruene Road on April 7. This $7 million project will update aging infrastructure and enhance regional wastewater treatment capacity.

Construction activities will primarily take place at night, from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m., Sunday through Friday, to minimize disruption to daily traffic. During these hours, traffic on Gruene Road will be reduced to a single lane with flaggers on-site to direct vehicles. On weekdays, contractors will also build two concrete vaults near the bridge, requiring short periods of flagger operations to ensure safety.

The project is divided into two phases. The first phase, completed in March, focused on replacing the old 12-inch sewer pipeline along the stretch from Hunter Road to the 1200 block of Gruene Road. The second phase extends along the 1200 block of Gruene Road, continuing the previous work. This includes replacing cast iron pipes near the Guadalupe River to prevent future pipeline failures. Additionally, odor control units will be installed behind businesses in the area to address occasional odor issues in downtown Gruene.

The New Braunfels Utilities sewer pipeline project is expected to be completed by May 29, improving the local environment and safeguarding public health. This sewer pipeline rehabilitation project is part of NBU's ongoing infrastructure upgrades, helping to meet the needs of the growing community.
