New Braunfels Utilities and McKenna Children’s Museum announced Nov. 9 that their new interactive Community Helpers exhibit is open. The hands-on space introduces young visitors to the people, equipment and infrastructure involved in providing water and electricity, according to NBU’s announcement.
Children and families can explore the work behind local water and electric service at McKenna Children’s Museum, 801 W. San Antonio St. in New Braunfels. NBU says the exhibit also introduces children to utility careers, giving families a local example of the work behind services they use at home.

The Community Helpers space replaces an earlier NBU-sponsored exhibit focused mainly on water and electricity use and conservation. NBU says it contributed $100,000 for the new exhibit’s design, production, fabrication and installation. Its Water and Electric Operations teams also provided input during development.
