Due to insufficient rainfall that has caused the Edwards Aquiffer to go below 650 feet mean sea level, New Braunfels Utilities has announced the city is now in Stage 2 drought restrictions.

The announcement came via an April 19 news release and means customers can use a hand-held hose, bucket, drip irrigation system, or soaker hose that does not spray water in the air before 10 a.m. and after 8 p.m., rather than any time of day.

“Conservation is an economical source of NBU’s water supply, and adhering to drought restrictions may also help customers manage their utility bills,” Chief Communications and Strategy Officer Melissa Krause said.
