New Braunfels Utilities (NBU) has completed the $7 million Gruene Road Sewer Main Rehabilitation and Relocation Project in the Gruene Historic District. 

The project included increasing the size of an existing wastewater main from 12 inches to 18 inches, replacing aging sewer lines crossing the Guadalupe River and installing a new odor control unit. These improvements provide additional capacity to handle wastewater flows, reduce the likelihood of problems caused by aging infrastructure and help maintain reliable service for customers. 

Construction began in January 2026 and was completed in early November. The completion of this project is part of NBU’s ongoing commitment to maintaining and improving essential infrastructure that customers depend on every day.  

By replacing aging wastewater lines, these investments help ensure customers continue receiving dependable service today and for years to come. Learn more about NBU’s infrastructure investments and how they benefit customers:
