New Braunfels Utilities

NBU sent a team of linemen and support personnel yesterday morning to Jasper, Texas, to help with power restoration efforts in the wake of Hurricane Beryl. Tornadoes that spun off of the system struck the town of 6,800 and left most of their customers without power. As a community-owned utility company, NBU is part of the Texas Public Power Association network of over 2,000 public power utilities that answer the call for mutual aid to help restore power during major events. When storms like Hurricane Beryl hit, power restoration is made even more difficult in smaller communities that do not have large electric departments or independent contractors to help with restoration. Please keep our crews in your thoughts and prayers while they help our East Texas neighbors in their time of need.

🚓⚡ Our crew had a fantastic time performing an arcing demo for the Comal County Sheriff’s Office Junior Deputy Academy! The kids' interest was sparked, and they were full of curiosity and excitement. We're proud to contribute to such an inspiring program and help ignite a passion for safety and learning.

Saving the day and saving a life. Upon finding a red-tailed hawk grounded in a sludge bed, our Surface Water crew swooped into action, rescued it, and cleaned it off. Thanks to the response of our “talon-ted” team, this beautiful bird is back where it belongs - soaring high in the sky. Let's hear it for their dedication to environmental stewardship of our winged neighbors!
