Hays Co. judge seeks emergency pause on water-demanding projects like data centers

Hays County Judge Ruben Becerra is proposing a resolution for a six-month emergency review period on water-intensive projects, including data centers, in Hays County, Texas. This initiative also includes a formal petition to Governor Greg Abbott to expand county authority to regulate such developments. The move is driven by concerns over the region's water supply amidst a severe drought.
