CITY COUNCIL ITEM
Direction to Staff
Drainage & Culvert Program
MEETING DATE: January 13, 2026
AGENDA ITEM: Discuss and consider direction to staff regarding the 2026 Bar Ditch and
Culvert Maintenance Program.
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
PRESENTED BY: Aaron Martinez, Public Works Director
BACKGROUND:
The City of Bulverde is launching a Ditch and Culvert Maintenance Program to fix drainage issues and
improve safety. Many areas have old or damaged infrastructure that needs repair to prevent flooding and
protect roads.
Projects are divided into two tiers—Tier 1 covers current priorities, while Tier 2 depends on future funding.
Work will include replacing culverts, adding safety end treatments, and reshaping bar ditches to improve
water flow.
RECOMMENDATION:
Provide feedback and consider authorizing Public Works to solicit bids for the Ditch and Culvert
Maintenance Program

Ditch/Culvert Repair Maintenance
Program
• This item was previously brought forward in June
2025 for City Council approval
• Council requested to wait until the outcome of the
TCEQ fine was known
• Resolved the violation through its approved
Supplemental Environmental Project pending final
approval
• We are returning to revisit the item and move forward
Page 57 of 61
Why are ditches/culverts
important
• Help prevent flooding by directing stormwater
away from roads and properties
• Protect roadways from erosion and premature
failure
• Allow water to flow under driveways and roads
using culverts
• Improve driving safety by keeping road surfaces dry
• Support regulatory compliance with drainage and
floodplain standards

Storm Drainage Design Criteria Manual 5.5.6. End Treatments
• Culverts shall be designed with
appropriate end treatments at their
inlets and outlets such as flared
• end sections, headwalls, or wing walls
to provide smooth transitions to/from
the drainage channel
• or ditch and to conform to the
embankment slopes. Erosion
protection or energy dissipaters shall
• be provided as necessary to limit
erosion due to turbulent flow and high
velocities.
