(New Braunfels, TX \u2013 March 9, 2022) \u2013 While New Braunfels and the surrounding community have enjoyed Non-Drought water status since November 1, 2021, a lack of sufficient rainfall in recent months has caused a noticeable drop in water level in the Edwards Aquifer. Drought restrictions are triggered by the average 10-day water level of the Edwards Aquifer. Today, March 9, 2022, The J-17 well hit 660.0-feet, triggering Stage 1 Drought Restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe New Braunfels Water Conservation and Drought Management Plan outlines that New Braunfels Utilities (NBU) put in place measures that are designed to help preserve this natural resource. For this reason, NBU, along with neighboring water providers, promotes year-round conservation,\u201d said Chief Strategic Communications and Security Officer, Melissa Krause. \u201cWith spring gardening around the corner and Stage 1 in effect, this is a great opportunity to remind our customers that NBU offers a number of xeriscaping ideas and money-saving conservation rebates online at nbutexas.com<\/a>, all designed to help NBU customers.\u201d Additionally, NBU offers a variety of tools to help customers manage costs and save money, which can also be found online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Addresses ending 0 and 1: Monday
Addresses ending 2 and 3: Tuesday
Addresses ending 4 and 5: Wednesday
Addresses ending 6 and 7: Thursday
Addresses ending 8 and 9: Friday<\/p>\n\n\n\n
