About the water in New Braunfels

New Braunfels is served by New Braunfels Utilities (NBU), which draws from Trinity Aquifer groundwater wells supplemented by surface water from the Guadalupe River (treated at the New Braunfels Regional Wastewater Reclamation System). Local water tests in the range of 15 grains per gallon, based on the most recent utility averages.

New Braunfels is Comal County's primary city and one of the fastest-growing mid-size cities in Texas. NBU blends Trinity Aquifer groundwater with treated Guadalupe River surface water, producing a moderately hard supply at around 15 grains per gallon. River-adjacent homes and neighborhoods closer to Canyon Lake sometimes see mineral readings that shift seasonally. New residents moving to New Braunfels from the Hill Country corridor often are already accustomed to hard water, but those relocating from other states are frequently surprised by the scale behavior on shower glass and fixtures.
