- One of New Braunfels Utilities (NBU) and the City of New Braunfels water stations for area residents without water will extend services through Sunday. While NBU tanks are full and water pressure has been restored across the entire system on Saturday, the boil water notice remains in effect. Those in need of water can go to the New Braunfels Civic Center at 375 S. Castell Avenue, in New Braunfels. Residents need to bring their containers, sizes up to a five-gallon bucket, to the water station for filling. Besides water direct from the NBU water system (which is still subject to the boil water notice), the water station is also offering water that has gone through a purification process, eliminating the need to boil the water. Simply bring your container to the Civic Center (Castell St. Entrance) and request the purified water.
