We’re Here to Help Manage High Utility Bills

New Braunfels Utilities offers many tools for managing your utility costs and is always here to help. For example, we can show how your usage compares to your neighborhood and community averages, explain rates or go through each zone in your sprinkler system to limit your max volume and save money. We can show you how to program an automated text if you are approaching a particular water or electric volume during the month. While utility bills are higher because it is hotter and drier than last summer, last year’s water rate increases are also impacting bills. A rate increase was necessary to maintain regulatory compliance and replace aging infrastructure. Even with those rate increases, NBU rates are still among the very lowest in our region and state. Please follow this link for comparisons.
