BULK WATER Services for Hawley, TX

Lightsource bp's Jones City Energy Center, a 700-megawatt solar and battery storage project in Jones County developed with McCarthy Building Companies as construction partner, is projected to contribute $86 million in lifetime property taxes to local schools and public services, placing one of the most consequential active utility-scale solar construction programs in West Texas directly within the county where Hawley sits on US 277 north of Abilene as a primary services community on the construction access corridor. That solar program advances alongside the Google and Intersect Power Quantum Energy Park in directly adjacent Haskell County, an approximately 840-megawatt solar and 1.3-gigawatt-hour battery storage co-located campus adjacent to a new Google data center, with construction underway and operations expected around 2026 to 2027, compressing regional bulk water sourcing capacity across two concurrent major programs in neighboring counties simultaneously. Pier foundation drilling across hundreds of acres, BESS civil pad construction, substation work, and sustained crew support at both project footprints require bulk water that Jones County's rural utility infrastructure does not reach at active construction locations. With two named construction programs running in Jones and Haskell counties during overlapping build windows, contractors mobilizing without pre-confirmed water arrangements will find sourcing already committed across the corridor. Water Runner provides TCEQ-licensed bulk water delivery with the West Texas fleet capacity to serve Hawley-area solar construction, adjacent data center infrastructure programs, and rural field operations from first mobilization through completion.
