What are the current conditions in the affected area of the river?
June 29, 2026Based on current river flow conditions and ongoing water quality monitoring, NBU believes the discharged wastewater has been substantially diluted and flushed downstream of the affected area. Cleanup and sampling efforts are ongoing in coordination with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ).
While TCEQ is the regulatory agency responsible for overseeing water quality and public health protections, current conditions do not indicate an ongoing elevated risk in the affected portion of the river. Customers should continue to exercise normal caution when recreating in any natural waterway, particularly following significant rainfall or high-flow events.
NBU will provide updates if additional concerns are identified.
