- QTS and Lancium are building a 465-acre data center campus near Turkey, Texas.
- QTS has announced plans to invest $250 million in Texas water infrastructure, including replacement of Turkey’s water tower.
- QTS says construction water will be brought in from outside the area and that the operational facility will not connect to municipal water lines.
- Each of 11 potential buildings would require about 600,000 gallons to initially charge its closed-loop system, according to QTS’s website.
- The case underscores water infrastructure as a development, cost and community-engagement consideration for data center projects in smaller municipalities.
QTS and Lancium are constructing a 465-acre data center campus approximately five miles south of Turkey, Texas, in Hall County. As the development proceeds, QTS has announced plans for a $250 million investment in Texas water infrastructure that includes replacing Turkey’s aging water tower and upgrading the associated system.
The announcement follows a series of water-supply disruptions in Turkey. The city manager said a replacement water tower was expected to cost at least $3 million to $5 million. The available information does not specify how much of QTS’s announced $250 million water-infrastructure investment would be allocated to the tower replacement or related local works.
QTS has said construction water for the campus will be trucked in from outside the community. For operations, the company says the facility will not connect to municipal water lines and is intended to use its own wells and wastewater-treatment facilities. According to a QTS representative, operational water use would be limited to domestic requirements for more than 350 people expected on site.
QTS’s website states that charging the closed-loop system in each of 11 potential buildings would require about 600,000 gallons of water. That figure refers to initial filling of each potential building’s closed-loop system, rather than ongoing operational consumption.
For data center developers and operators, the case highlights how local water constraints can affect project scheduling, cost structure and community acceptance. The proposed water strategy suggests an effort to limit dependence on municipal supply during operations while separately supporting local utility infrastructure. However, the source does not provide technical documentation, permits or implementation timing for the wells, wastewater-treatment facilities or closed-loop systems.
The project illustrates how large data center developments in small communities can require parallel investment in municipal utilities and careful management of water-supply concerns. QTS’s proposed use of off-site construction water, on-site wells, wastewater treatment and closed-loop systems could reduce operational reliance on municipal water, although implementation details remain unverified.
