On June 1, the newly formed New Braunfels Utilities Rate Advisory Committee will host its first of approximately six meetings.
The NBU board of trustees appointed the 18-member committee April 28 and has been tasked with helping ensure NBU maintains fair and equitable rates based on the cost of providing service to its customers, according to a press release from NBU.
Committee members will meet throughout 2022 and early 2023 as NBU completes the cost-of-service and rate design study before presenting a new rate plan to City Council in April 2023.
In October 2020, City Council approved a three-year rate plan for NBU, according to the release, and the new rate plan proposed in 2023 will be intended to meet the growing demands for services.
