The city of New Braunfels Transportation & Capital Improvements Department is hosting a public meeting Nov. 3 to provide information to residents on the Drainage Area Master Plan. Residents will have an opportunity to give city staff and the city’s consultants input on problematic drainage situations in the community during the meeting.

The meeting will begin with a presentation on the Drainage Area Master Plan, including information on the hydrologic and hydraulic modeling that will be used to determine flood-prone areas in the city. The public will be invited to share their experiences with flooding events and flooding problems, according to city officials.

“The information presented at this meeting, along with the feedback we get from residents, will eventually be used to determine future drainage infrastructure projects in the city,” said Garry Ford, transportation and capital improvements director. “This is the first public meeting for the Drainage Area Master Plan, and we are hopeful that residents will participate in the process and provide us valuable feedback.”

The public meeting will be held from 6-7 p.m. on Nov. 3 at New Braunfels City Hall, located at 550 Landa St. Residents will also be able to leave their drainage-related input using an online map tool that will be available after Nov. 3 on the Transportation & Capital Improvements Department website.
