The Conrads Elevated Storage Tank, located at 797U Conrads Lane, is anticipated to be completed in September, according to New Braunfels Utilities o cials. Construction on the 2-million-gallon elevated storage tank began in January 2024 and is part of the utility’s master plan. The project’s design began in 2020, and NBU purchased the property for the tank in 2021, Project Manager Paula Dubois told Community Impact.

The $9.9 million project is funded through impact fees, a cost-sharing agreement with the Mayfair development and utility rates. Impact fees are an assessment of new development to generate revenue for funding improvements. Dubois said the city’s topography is unique because it is at on one side and Hill Country on the other. The tanks are di erent heights depending on their topography. “You can kind of see they all pretty much line up at the same elevation to help with pressures,” she said.
The Conrads Elevated Storage Tank is located next to the Northwest Crossing subdivision.
helping maintain system pressures because the Hill Country can signi cantly decrease pressure in the higher terrain areas, and so elevated storage tanks help stabilize that,” Dubois said. Growth was also factored into the construction of the tank. With more homes being built, more water is needed for new and existing NBU customers, Dubois said.
