BULK WATER Services for Coleman, TX

Cypress Creek Renewables is investing $356.9 million in the Hanson Solar project near Valera, a Meta-backed, 3,000-acre solar and BESS facility with over 1.24 million panels and a 345-kilovolt ERCOT interconnection, targeting commercial operations in 2027 with more than 300 peak construction jobs and over $80 million in lifetime county tax revenue, all operating on agricultural terrain where Coleman County's rural utility infrastructure does not reach active construction zones. Coleman's position at US 283 and US 84, approximately 40 miles southwest of Abilene, places it within direct supply range of the Crusoe AI data center campus running 2.1 gigawatts of concurrent construction and the AES Buffalo Gap Repower program advancing through Taylor County through 2027, compressing regional bulk water capacity across the same 60-mile corridor simultaneously. With Hanson Solar's active construction schedule running through 2027 and the Abilene corridor committing supply capacity to the north, EPC subcontractors arriving without pre-confirmed water arrangements will find no viable sourcing alternative in a county where Coleman is the only incorporated services hub. Water Runner provides TCEQ-licensed bulk water delivery to serve Coleman-area solar construction, BESS civil programs, and energy infrastructure projects across the corridor from first equipment arrival through commercial operation.
