Blueprint Data Centers
Blueprint Data Centers is developing a 25 MW, 45,000-sq-ft colocation campus at 1201 Westinghouse Road in Georgetown, representing a $160 million investment across two equal phases. Georgetown City Council approved zoning and a 10-year 50% property tax abatement in September 2024. Phase 1 targets Q4 2026; Phase 2 targets Q1 2027. The Georgetown facility is paired with a companion 60 MW campus in Taylor, enabling low-latency redundant deployments.
Water Impact
Daily water use (estimated range)
225K – 325K gal/day
Water returned per day
None reported
Per Estimated from 25 MW using LBNL benchmark 9,000–13,000 gal/day/MW. No specific water disclosure found., based on MW benchmark methodology; cooling type not confirmed as closed-loop for this site.
vs. 5M gal/day (typical 400 MW facility)
The higher estimate is equivalent to the daily water use of approximately 3,250 households. San Marcos has approximately 25,000 households.

Permitted — the decision is made, but conditions still matter
The primary decision cannot be undone, but the conditions attached to the approval can still be negotiated or enforced. Officials can be held accountable for permit violations. Community pressure matters for shaping how the project is operated and what monitoring is required.

Community Notes
Georgetown Utility Systems (GUS), the city-owned utility, serves this site. GUS draws surface water from Lake Georgetown and Brazos River Authority reservoirs plus LCRA contracts. Georgetown is under pressure to secure additional water sources by 2030. 50% property tax abatement for 10 years reduces public revenue.
