A Texas law intended to protect residential water use privacy is being broadly applied to shield water usage data for San Antonio-area data centers, limiting public transparency as data centers rapidly expand and consume significant water resources.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Data Infrastructure.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Data centre founders in Texas face a wall on water usage transparency that limits trust and community approval. You must push for clearer data or anticipate rising regulatory scrutiny and local opposition as water use concerns grow.
