Our Water Future is Strong
Keeping Our Water Future Strong
Every Texas community faces unique water challenges. Thanks to proactive planning, New Braunfels is in a strong and stable position.
NBU has decades of planning, investment, and stewardship with a diversified water portfolio designed to meet the needs of New Braunfels for the next 50 years and beyond. Unlike communities facing immediate shortages, our community benefits from long-term water strategies, strong infrastructure, and proactive resource management.
Our community knows water is a shared resource and smart usage remains essential. As our community continues to grow, we all play a role in protecting what we have, and NBU will continue to be transparent with our customers, monitor conditions and invest in future-ready solutions. We are prepared — but we are also responsible.
Investing in Reliability
Ongoing projects strengthen our system. Here’s how:
- Expanded water treatment capacity allows NBU to reliably deliver water during high-demand periods while reducing strain on existing systems
- Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) planning adds a flexible, drought-resilient storage solution by banking water underground for future use
- Designing infrastructure with future growth in mind ensures the system can scale efficiently without sacrificing reliability or service quality
