BULK WATER Services for Gardendale, TX

New Era Energy & Digital is developing Texas Critical Data Centers (TCDC), a 438-acre AI and high-performance computing campus in Ector County, master-planned to scale beyond one gigawatt of capacity (GlobeNewswire), placing one of the Permian Basin's most consequential digital infrastructure investments directly within Water Runner's primary service area. Following the completion of Phase Two engineering in late 2025, the company plans to commence site clearing and begin construction of both initial data center shells and on-site power generation facilities in 2026, with the goal of bringing the first phase online by late 2026 (BriefGlance). Gardendale sits inside Ector County immediately adjacent to Odessa along the I-20 corridor, placing it at the operational center of the Permian Basin's upstream and midstream activity while simultaneously emerging as a node for the region's expanding energy-to-compute infrastructure build-out. TCDC has applied to form an Industrial District with the City of Odessa specifically to facilitate access to municipal services including water and wastewater treatment (Data Center Dynamics), confirming that reliable water supply is an active planning requirement for this project, not an afterthought. Bulk water demand across a campus of this scale spans earthwork, concrete placement, dust suppression during grading, equipment hydrotesting, and worker support for a construction workforce that will grow substantially as each phase advances toward energization. Contractors and project owners who have not secured a dedicated bulk water supply partner before mobilization face sourcing gaps precisely when operational tempo is highest and schedule pressure is greatest. Water Runner delivers TCEQ-licensed bulk water with the regional capacity and response time to support Ector County projects from ground-break through commissioning.
