We understand the concern about data centers as more of them are being developed across our region. These facilities can use significant amounts of water depending on their size. However, in TVWD's service area, data centers are part of the commercial category and commercial customers make up 2% of our customers and use a small share of the total water we provide. Residential growth is outpacing commercial growth in our service area. Data centers pay for the water they use under the same rate structure as residents, plus system development charges which developers are required to pay TVWD when developing new buildings. Their usage is billed accordingly so that residential customers do not take on that cost burden.
Please read our Data Centers and TVWD Water Use fact sheet for more information about data centers in TVWD's service area.
