DATA CENTER APPROVED: In a landslide vote, the City of Munger Heights (Annex) approved a new data center to be built on the outskirts of town!
The data center will be located at the site of what is currently the homeless shelter on E. Dead Hog Rd. Construction is slated to begin by Spring 2028.
We understand many have qualms about data centers, specifically the amount of electricity and water they consume, strain on local power grids, and environmental and noise pollution, but local politicians assure us they have solutions to these issues.
These are the solutions as follows:
1. No Power Thursdays: To make sure the local power grid doesn’t strain too much, power will be cut off from the city on Thursdays
2. So that there isn’t a water shortage, the Water Dept. will use synthetic water instead of actual water, so the data center gets all the real water it needs!
3. Oncor Raffle: One lucky winner will receive 20% off their electric bill for 1 month! Everyone else can expect just a 85% rate increase.
4. Free Cotton Balls: This one is self-explanatory. Shove them into your ears to block out the noise!
As a community, we couldn’t be more thrilled to welcome a data center to CenTex. It’s just what this city has been missing! ❤️
