NEW BRAUNFELS — State regulators have released the Texas General Land Office’s 2,000-acre development tract near New Braunfels from its ties to Crystal Clear Water Supply Corp., which had hoped to provide the estimated 3.2 million gallons per day needed for the massive project.

GLO isn’t saying where it’ll get its water now, but Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority is making plans to step in with water for the planned development, which would be one of the largest ever in the New Braunfels area.

The GLO tract, along either side of Interstate 35 just north of New Braunfels’ Town Center at Creekside shopping center, had been within the state-mandated service area of the San Marcos-based Crystal Clear WSC.
