New Braunfels Utilities is now accepting applications for its NBU University program that begins Jan. 10, 2023. NBU University is a five-month series of classes that occur once a month. The program is designed for participants to gain a better understanding of how their municipal, community-owned utility operates.

The objectives for NBU University participants are to provide an understanding of the guiding principles of NBU, operations, the planning process for capital improvement projects and the functions of NBU.

In addition, NBU officials said participants will receive interactive learning experiences through case studies, site tours, group discussions and hands-on experiences. Enrollment is limited to 25 NBU customers, and classes will meet from 5:30-7:30 p.m. on the second Tuesday of the month. On Jan. 10, 2023, the class participants will attend a mixer with the first class to be held the following Tuesday, Jan. 17, 2023.
