CyrusOne

CyrusOne broke ground on its sixth San Antonio data center (SAT6) at 14719 Omicron Drive in February 2025. The two-building campus totals 276,000 sq ft with 36 MW of IT capacity. The SAT6 campus is located directly south of the existing SAT5 facility in the Texas Research Park. CyrusOne's cumulative capital investment in San Antonio now approaches $1 billion.

Water Impact

Daily water use (estimated range)

324K – 468K gal/day

Water returned per day

None reported

Per Estimated from 36 MW using LBNL benchmark 9,000–13,000 gal/day/MW, based on MW benchmark at WUE 1.8–2.5 L/kWh, 80% utilization

Estimated daily water use324K – 468K gal/day

vs. 5M gal/day (typical 400 MW facility)

The higher estimate is equivalent to the daily water use of approximately 4,680 households. San Marcos has approximately 25,000 households.

Water intake
324K – 468K gal/day
Lost to evaporation
100%
Returned to system
0% (None reported)
Water flow: 324K – 468K gal/day enters the facility per day. Approximately 100% (468K gal/day) is lost to evaporative cooling and cannot be recovered. No return flow is reported.
For comparison: A sustainable seawater-cooled data center can return over 95% of water to the system. A typical land-based evaporative cooling tower loses 80–95% to evaporation — the primary method used in Texas.

Direct water figures are estimates from permit applications and developer disclosures. Indirect (power generation) figures are calculated estimates. Actual water use depends on technology choices, operating capacity, and weather conditions.

Government Review

This is the decision window — showing up now makes the biggest difference

Elected officials weigh in-room presence directly. Twenty people attending a hearing shifts the political calculus more than 200 email signatures. This is also your legal window to create an official record of community opposition, which matters in any subsequent appeal.

Community Notes

Located in the Texas Research Park cluster on Omicron Drive in west Bexar County, on the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone. The Omicron Drive corridor is becoming one of the densest data center zones in Texas, with CyrusOne, Vantage TX12, and CloudHQ all operating within approximately one mile of each other.
