River Run Fall 2017 A Publication of the Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority Fall 2017 3 / Hydro Repairs Underway 8 / Zebra Mussels 16 / Grant Helps SOLC Constituent Communiqué Building Relationships In its 10-county statutory district, the Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority works with a variety of customers for water sales and treatment, wastewater treatment, power sales, recreational undertakings and other services. In conducting those operations, GBRA staff also work closely with elected officials, developers and other constituents to determine their current and future needs and to see how GBRA can help address those needs. The purpose of our efforts is to provide exceptional service for their benefit. We are able to do this by ensuring that GBRA has highly skilled employees who receive relevant training year round. This also includes state licensed operators for the water and wastewater treatment facilities that we own and Ithose that we operate in partnership with customers in our basin. Today, GBRA continues to nurture long-standing relationships with its current customers while building new relationships with new partners. Furthering existing partnerships and addressing a need for a geographic area that lacks certain utilities, GBRA is securing a Certificate of Convenience and Necessity (CCN) to provide wastewater services to an unincorporated area between New Braunfels and Seguin. GBRA will work in partnership with New Braunfels Utilities and the city of Seguin to provide wholesale wastewater treatment to wastewater that is collected from the new developments that are occurring in this high growth area. GBRA is stepping up to build these relationships because the area is growing and circumstances demand it. Since 2000, Guadalupe County grew more than 130 percent reaching a population of nearly 150,000. The United States Census Bureau listed New Braunfels as the ninth fastest growing city with a population of 50,000 or more in the country. Its population increased 4.7 percent in 2016. In that same timeframe, GBRA’s district was home to three of the top 10 fastest-growing counties in the nation with a population of 10,000 or more: Kendall County ranked second with 5.15 percent growth, Hays County ranked third with 5.09 percent growth, and Comal County ranked sixth with an increase of 4.4 percent. GBRA leads as a regional partner managing watershed resources to protect and support the needs of a growing population, economy and healthy environment. We look forward to working with you as we grow together on this journey.

Lake Nolte will remain lowered for several months while the repairs take place. Hydro Similar maintenance work, including replacement of structural steel members inside the spillgates and wooden timbers on the downstream side of the spillgates was occurring at Lake Placid. Facilities Crews also plan to have Lake Placid lowered for several months during repair time. Occasionally, both lakes may fluctuate by 8-10 inches during periods of hydroelectric power generation. As part of this project, repairs also will be scheduled in the future for lakes McQueeney and Gonzales.
