October brought cooler weather, fall festivities and plenty of opportunities for New Braunfels Utilities (NBU) employees to get out and spend time with our neighbors. 

At NBU, our commitment to the community extends beyond providing essential electric, water and wastewater services. It also means showing up for local traditions, lending a hand and supporting the people who make New Braunfels home. 

As the fall season continues, we’re grateful for the opportunities to spend time with our neighbors and support the events that bring New Braunfels together, and happy to call this our home. Here’s a look at how our team spent October. 

Operation MedSafe: A Safe Way to Clean Out the Medicine Cabinet 

On October 3, NBU welcomed 92 vehicles during Operation MedSafe, helping residents safely dispose of unused and expired medications. The event offered a simple way for neighbors to clear out their medicine cabinets while helping protect local waterways and keep medications out of the wrong hands. 

National Night Out: Fall Fun With Our Neighbors 

The Headwaters at the Comal welcomed families and neighbors on October 6 for National Night Out. NBU employees spent the evening sharing information, answering questions and getting to know the people we serve in a relaxed, family-friendly setting.
