Construction Project Summary
|
|
|
|
SAWS is replacing aging water lines with a history of breaks in the residential area near Hot Wells Blvd. and New Braunfels Ave. Construction will take place along several streets within the City of San Antonio (COSA) right of way.
To minimize disruptions, traffic control measures will be in place; however, you may encounter detours and lane closures in the work zones during construction. Once completed, the project will result in significant infrastructure improvements for the community.
For questions regarding this project, please contact Byron Gipson at 210-233-2977 or Byron.Gipson@saws.org.

Construction Project Map
Project Update
Contractors will soon complete construction on several streets.
September 5, 2025
Construction continues on Koehler Court near S New Braunfels, E Dullnig Court, Hermitage Court, and Junior Street.
Crews are continuing installation of new pipe on Koehler Court near S New Braunfels and the water main should be complete by this week. On Saturday, September 6, 2025, contractors will be connecting the pipe in the bore to the pipe on Koehler Court west of New Braunfels.
On E Dullnig Court, construction of the water main is finished, and crews are currently installing new services lines. Work should be complete by next week.
By this week, contractors on Hermitage Court and Junior Street should complete trench restoration.
Project Update
Construction continues along three different streets.
August 22, 2025
Streets have been restored on Koehler Court from S New Braunfels to Russi Street and on Russi Street from Koehler Court to Hot Wells. Now, contractors are in the process of installing new pipe on three different streets:
• Koehler Court moving east from intersection of S New Braunfels and Koehler Court
• Groos Avenue on E Dullnig Court
• West on E Hermitage Court from Junior Avenue
To avoid disturbance of neighborhood streets and sidewalks, crews are boring and installing new pipe underneath the street on Koehler Court, east from the intersection of S New Braunfels.
Project Update
Construction has officially begun, and progress has been made on several streets.
August 8, 2025
Contractors continue work on the Hot Wells Mission Reach Water Main Replacement Project.
Installation of new pipe is complete on Koehler Court from S New Braunfels to Russi Street and on Russi Street from Koehler Court to Hot Wells. Lines will be tested prior to asphalt restoration. Streets will hopefully be paved the week of August 11th.
Those who have not yet been impacted will receive a notice prior to start of construction.
Project Update
SAWS Shares Water Line Replacement Plans with Neighborhood Association
July 1, 2025
SAWS staff recently met with the Hot Wells Mission Reach Neighborhood Association at the Mission Branch Library to provide an update on the upcoming water infrastructure project.
Scheduled to begin in summer 2025, the project will replace approximately 11,000 feet of aging water mains—roughly the length of 15 Towers of the Americas laid end to end!
During the presentation, SAWS outlined key details including project timeline, process of construction, contractor’s background, and what they should expect this summer. Attendees had the opportunity to ask questions about how the work may affect their homes and neighborhood streets.
