Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Seguin public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Water Service Agreement with Guadalupe County MUD No. 3
The council will consider a retail water service agreement between Seguin and Guadalupe County Municipal Utility District No. 3, affecting how water service is extended in that area.
Outage Management System Presentation
The Utilities Department will present on the city's Outage Management System — the technology that tracks power outages and coordinates restoration, relevant to how quickly outages get fixed.
Water treatment plant expansion and reliability
A new 94-foot clarifier adds redundant treatment capacity and replaces pumps at the end of their life, positioning the city for a future water plant replacement. It's a $19.5 million investment funded through certificates of obligation.
Walnut Branch sewer and water main replacement
The city's aging 24-to-30-inch sewer main running through downtown and across Court Street is getting a $4.4 million rehab. Critical infrastructure in sensitive parts of town.
Willmann Road flooding and subdivision drainage
Neighbors along the dead-end stretch of Willmann Road say the area already floods regularly and a low-water crossing strands families after modest rain. The developer's plan routes subdivision runoff through a drainage ditch to Geronimo Creek, and a flood study is still under engineering review.
Bear Creek Trail easements and condemnation
Council declared necessity to acquire water and wastewater easements along Bear Creek Trail and authorized condemnation if talks fail.
84-Inch Storm Sewer Pipe Rehabilitation
The giant storm pipe running under the hospital area has failed three times and was the same pipe that broke near the Gbra outfall last July 5th. The $527,000 trenchless repair seals 26 failing joints and avoids a replacement project that could cost tens of millions.
Hidalgo Street Drainage Channel Repair
A deteriorated concrete drainage channel next to homes on Hidalgo Street is being held up by temporary pipes and bars; a $103,979.64 repair will replace it before it collapses.
