New residential connection

If you're applying for electric, water or sewer service for a newly constructed home, NBU requires a two-month estimated billing deposit. Half of the deposit is paid up front with the remaining balance added to your utility bill in one installment.

Existing residential connection

If you need to apply for service for an existing home, NBU will calculate the average of the past 12 months utility bills and multiply that amount by two to determine the deposit. Half of that amount will be due up front and the remaining balance will be added to your utility bill in one installment.

Administrative fee

An administrative fee of $25 will be charged and added to your first month's bill. If you have both electric and water service, that fee will be split between the services at a cost of $12.50 each. If you only have one of these services, the total fee will be $25.

Disconnecting service

To discontinue residential service, you can fill out a disconnect notice at our office or bring in, fax or mail a signed letter requesting the disconnect and directing NBU where to send your final bill. If you have any questions, call Customer Service at (830) 629-8400, (830) 606-2074 (San Antonio metro) or send e-mail to customerservice@nbutexas.com. You can send a fax to NBU at (830) 629-2119
