A data center planned just east of Princeton will get 150 gallons of water per minute from a well to be drilled on the property, according to a permit granted by the North Texas Groundwater Conservation District.

The Princeton Water Master Plan Update prepared Kimley-Horn shows that as early as 2025 an 8-inch water main was planned from near downtown to a “Future Data Center Site” indicated northeast of the intersection of County Roads 559 and 561, just above the “T” bridge connecting with U.S. Highway 380 over Lake Lavon.
