New Braunfels City Council members on Monday unanimously approved two items related to the 1,900-acre Mayfair project, a proposed master-planned mixed-use community located north of New Braunfels slated to add thousands of residential housing units as well as commercial and light industrial development, parks and spaces for additional schools.
Council members approved the creation of Comal County Water Improvement District No. 3, which would maintain the authority to impose an assessment on paying for drainage, roads, water and sewer utilities, parks and other items appropriate by law within the development property.
The assessmentâs purpose is to provide a reimbursement process to developers to construct a variety of public facilities.

New Braunfels Utilitiesâ water customers had been under Stage 2 restrictions since April 19.
NBU officials said the utility was able to exit Stage 2 restrictions after the 10-day average for the J-17 Edwards Aquifer level stayed above 650-feet for 15 consecutive days.
The 10-day average for the aquifer level reached 665.7-feet on Monday morning.
âNew Braunfels Utilities, guided by the New Braunfels Water Conservation and Drought Management Plan, monitors water levels and other conditions and encourages ongoing conservation,â said Melissa Krause, NBUâs chief communications and strategy officer. âConservation remains the most economical source of NBUâs water supply, and limiting water use may help customers manage their utility bills.â
