Simon Street Water and Wastewater Improvements
Project Details: The project will replace aging infrastructure in the area surrounding Ashmore Avenue, Simon Avenue and Hampe Street ahead of the CoNB roadway work along Simon Avenue, including replacing over 1,300 feet of old 6-inch wastewater pipes with larger, more efficient 8-inch mains along Hampe Street, Simon Avenue and nearby easements. This upgrade will improve flow and helps prevent backups in the system. New Braunfels Utilities crews will also replace 1,070 feet of outdated 6-inch water lines with new 8-inch pipes in the same area. New valves will be installed along Guada Coma Drive to improve control over water flow in the neighborhood, allowing for quicker isolation of problems and minimizing service disruptions during repairs.
