This project is intended to fulfill the water quality protection requirements set forth in the EAHCP. Funding for the design and construction of the water quality treatment facility has been approved by the EAHCP Implementing Committee and is available to the City to cover costs associated with design and construction. The City of New Braunfels 2018 projects and budget were also approved by Council at the December 11th, 2017 regular council meeting.
