City of Sinton Gives Emergency Water to Mystery Data Center
It's thirsty.
The city of Sinton found itself with an emergency water reserve and decided the real emergency was a data center that doesn’t have enough water to run its servers.
This is happening in a region where Corpus Christi is so dry Abbott has floated a state takeover.
The Austin American-Statesman:
Sinton, a city of about 5,600 people north of Corpus Christi, agreed to sell water from its emergency supply to data centers — even as the broader Coastal Bend region grapples with one of the worst droughts in its history.
So when the taps run dry up the road, the servers stay hydrated.
Priorities.
The buyers, naturally, would prefer you not know who they are.
The companies behind the projects have not been publicly identified.
Secret companies. Public water. A drought. What could possibly go sideways?
Local government’s one job is to keep the water on for the people who live there. Sinton looked at its last-ditch reserve, the one labeled *break glass in case of emergency*, and broke the glass for a server farm.
The drought is the emergency. They sold the cure to the thing that doesn’t sweat.
When Sinton’s faucets sputter, the residents can take comfort knowing a windowless building somewhere is running ice cold.
