    Overview

    New Braunfels Utilities (NBU) was established in 1942 when the City Commission of New Braunfels, Texas, purchased from Guadalupe Electric Company the electric transmission and distribution systems, formerly owned by the San Antonio Public Service Company that served the City of New Braunfels, Texas and the surrounding area. In 1959, operations of the water and wastewater systems were transferred to NBU from the city.
    New Braunfels Utilities is a municipally-owned utility, operating under a five-member Board of Trustees (Board). The Board consists of four individuals appointed by the New Braunfels City Council to five-year terms and the city’s current mayor. The elected City Council maintains regulatory control by appointing the Board, approving all rate changes, and authorizing bond issuances.

      If I could give this business 0 stars I would. Accommodating to others yet dont be surprised if you come home to no power and all your food in your fridge has gone bad because they shut it off before a grace ****** is up. Super expensive monopoly company that charges way too many dollars per square foot even if your system is off cause youre out of town. Prices astronomically high. Cannot wait to move to an area of New Braunfels that NBU doesnt service.
