Lacy Lakeview City Council hearing pitch to use wastewater in proposed data center

The Lacy Lakeview City Council recently held a hearing to review a pitch for a proposed data center in McLennan County, Texas. The key element of this proposal is an agreement to utilize treated wastewater from the city's system as coolant for the data center operations. This approach is intended to mitigate the data center's impact on local water resources, offering an environmentally conscious solution to the facility's significant water demands. The discussions around this potential agreement reflect a growing trend in the data center industry to explore sustainable practices and address community concerns about resource consumption.
