The short answer

Texas Septic Pros provides septic pumping, inspection, repair and aerobic maintenance in New Braunfels, Texas. New Braunfels spans Comal and Guadalupe counties above the Edwards Aquifer. We schedule service routes from our Waco base and follow the stricter rules that apply to septic systems in the aquifer’s recharge zone.

Local soil & water

Thin soil over karst limestone

Around New Braunfels, the Edwards Plateau and Balcones Escarpment bring shallow, rocky clay soils over limestone. The Edwards is a karst aquifer with caves, sinkholes and springs, so poorly treated wastewater can reach groundwater quickly.

  • Very shallow soil over rock limits conventional drain fields
  • Recharge features such as sinkholes require set-backs
  • Proper maintenance protects Comal Springs and the aquifer

Permits & inspections

Two counties and the Edwards Aquifer rules

The Comal County side is permitted by the Comal County Engineer’s Office (Environmental Health). The Guadalupe County side is permitted by the Guadalupe County Environmental Health Department, which requires a permit for every system regardless of lot size. On the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone, state rules (30 TAC 285.40) require plans by a professional engineer or professional sanitarian, a minimum of one acre per single-family home, and set-backs of 50 feet for tanks and 150 feet for drain fields from recharge features.

Around New Braunfels

New Braunfels grew around Comal Springs, one of the largest springs in Texas, and the short Comal River that runs through Landa Park to the Guadalupe River. Growth west of town onto the Hill Country means many newer homes rely on septic or aerobic systems.

Are there special septic rules over the Edwards Aquifer?

Yes. On the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone, 30 TAC 285.40 requires plans by a professional engineer or professional sanitarian, at least one acre per single-family home (with some exceptions for older Comal County lots), and set-backs of 50 feet for tanks and 150 feet for drain fields from recharge features.

Which county issues septic permits in New Braunfels?

It depends on which side of the county line you are on. The Comal County Engineer’s Office handles the Comal County side, and the Guadalupe County Environmental Health Department handles the Guadalupe County side. We confirm the right office for your address.

Can I maintain my own aerobic system in Comal County?

Comal County allows owners of single-family homes to maintain their own aerobic system after the initial two-year contract, without training or reports. If a violation is found, the owner has 10 days to fix it, and two violations within three years make a maintenance contract mandatory.

How far in advance should I book in New Braunfels?

Because New Braunfels is about 150 miles from our Waco base, we serve it on scheduled routes. Please book a week or more ahead for routine work.
