Cibolo council adopts South Cibolo wastewater master plan to pave way for sewer expansion south of FM 78

Cibolo City Council adopted the South Cibolo wastewater master plan on Jan. 13, marking a milestone in the city’s effort to provide sewer service south of FM 78.

City staff and consultants told council the master plan projects future growth in the area and lays out a capital improvement program that includes a transmission line from the CCMA South plant toward Bolton Road/Hackerville Road. Saif Al Khadid and consultant Jessica Vassar (Freese Nichols) described the plan as the next step that allows staff to proceed with design and budgeting for the infrastructure needed to serve new development.

Mayor Latimer (identified later in the meeting record) described the adoption as “an exciting beginning” for Cibolo to have control of development south of FM 78. Councilmember comments emphasized the plan’s role in enabling future development and protecting public health by ensuring wastewater capacity before growth proceeds.

The motion to adopt the resolution (item 13d) passed after a second and a roll call vote; council did not attach additional conditions to adoption. Staff said the adoption enables the city to move forward with detailed engineering and with grant or funding strategies as appropriate.

The consulting team and staff will return to council with design documents and project timing as the city advances the recommended CIP. No specific construction contracts or timelines were adopted at the meeting; council will consider those in future agenda items.
