BULK WATER Services for Sweetwater, TX

IREN Limited has broken ground on its Sweetwater Hub, a 2-gigawatt AI data center campus spanning 1,800 acres across two sites in Nolan County, with Sweetwater 1 targeting 1,400 megawatts of capacity energized by April 2026 and Sweetwater 2 adding another 600 megawatts by late 2027, with 2,000 megawatts of contracted grid capacity already secured under binding agreements (BigCountryHomepage), making Sweetwater the named host city of one of the largest AI infrastructure builds currently underway in North America. That IREN campus advances in the same county where Crusoe Energy Systems is separately advancing a $7 billion, 200-megawatt data center project with a construction workforce estimated at approximately 2,000 workers during the build phase (KTXS), establishing Nolan County as a multi-operator AI infrastructure development zone with concurrent major construction programs drawing from the same regional contractor and service capacity simultaneously. Sweetwater and Nolan County are also home to the Roscoe Wind Farm at 781.5 MW, the Sweetwater Wind Farm at 579.3 MW, and the Buffalo Gap Wind Farm at 517.9 MW (Sweetwatertexas), sustaining a dense legacy energy infrastructure environment where active O&M programs, substation maintenance, turbine access road upkeep, and potential repowering activity generate year-round demand for field services across a 100,000-acre multi-county footprint. Sweetwater sits directly on I-20 in Nolan County, approximately 40 miles west of Abilene, placing it at the intersection of the I-20 data center and energy corridor, the ERCOT grid's West Texas transmission network, and the major fiber routes that make the region attractive to hyperscale AI infrastructure operators seeking low-latency connectivity with available land and contracted power capacity. Data center groundbreaking, civil site preparation, substation installation, cooling system commissioning, and concurrent construction crew support for a campus of this scale all require sustained bulk water access from day one of site mobilization, well before any permanent utility service is operational on site. With IREN's Sweetwater Hub and the Crusoe Nolan County project both in active construction phases, regional water sourcing is under concurrent demand from two of the largest infrastructure builds in West Texas simultaneously, creating precisely the conditions where pre-arranged supply arrangements are essential. Water Runner provides TCEQ-licensed bulk water delivery with the fleet capacity and West Texas operational reach to support Sweetwater-area data center construction, wind energy operations, and associated field infrastructure projects reliably from first mobilization through project completion.
