NBU moved to Stage 2 conservation on Aug. 10, then featured Aug. 20 guidance saying brown summer grass may be doing exactly what it should.
New Braunfels utility customers now have NBU's lawn message alongside the current Stage 2 conservation status, but the preserved index does not provide the feature's full watering recommendations.
The utility’s news page shows the sequence in one place: an Aug. 10 notice says Stage 2 took effect that day, and the newer lawn feature appears at the top of “The Latest.” The timing makes the lawn message relevant to customers balancing summer yard care with current conservation rules.
What NBU’s Preview Says
NBU introduces the feature with a familiar summer condition: grass that has turned brown and feels crunchy underfoot. The headline’s point is deliberately bounded. It says the lawn may be behaving normally; the preserved preview does not establish that every brown lawn is healthy.
The cataloged page does not include the feature’s full advice on grass varieties, watering frequency, recovery tests or what customers should do next. Those details matter because Stage 2 is a conservation-rule status, while the brown-grass item is lawn guidance. The preview should not be treated as a complete watering schedule.
Comal.News previously reported the Aug. 10 transition to Stage 2. The next useful development will be the complete preserved lawn feature or a change in NBU’s conservation stage, either of which could add specific instructions beyond the headline-level guidance available now.
