Tarrant Regional Water District says it has signed no water supply contract for a data center and that the Cedar Creek request was withdrawn
The Tarrant Regional Water District publishes a standing page on data center raw water requests after developers approached it about supply from the Cedar Creek system. The district states that the developer and West Cedar Creek Municipal Utility District formally withdrew their requests and the project is no longer proceeding. The district also states that it has entered into no new water supply contracts specifically to serve data centers. It has not raised contract volumes for existing customers on that basis either.
