Heavy rains have caused an increased flow of water in the Comal River, with the current river flow (as of this release) measuring 990cfs with poor water clarity and water flowing over the Tube Chute Dam.
Therefore, by order of the New Braunfels Chief of Police, the Comal River in New Braunfels is temporarily closed for recreation in order to wait for waters to recede and for minor amounts of debris to be cleaned up.
City officials will reevaluate the river flow and conditions at the Tube Chute on Sunday morning and a determination will be made then about whether recreation can resume.
