However, the U.S. data center boom has drawn criticism based on a variety of factors, such as the amount of power and water the facilities use.The ABJ has now identified more than 20 data center projects in the Austin area in recent years, which are expected to include at least $25 billion in capital investment — likely an undercount — spread across millions of square feet of building space, along with thousands of jobs, primarily in construction.Temple, which is about 70 miles north of Austin and has a population north of 90,000 people, is emerging as its own hub.

What are other investors in the area paying annually per unit in insurance (approx range) and water + sewer + trash?

Are they the old fashion type that use large amounts of water? 

At the same time, new city-level regulations—like the recent ordinance aimed at controlling water usage by large developments—signal growing attention to sustainability and could affect future commercial and industrial real estate projects.

I’d ask about the cost of getting the well water lots converted to city water.

It created a giant puddle in the yard by the water shut off valve.

I’m looking for infill lots because they typically have water and sewer.

Even my "biggest issue" (a wide open water line dumping into my basement) was something I'd never expect (meter and water line itself were only 7 years old) of course happened on mother's day, but guess what, took about 3 hours and $1200 bucks to handle...all in all not a property breaker, but when you think about water in a basement it seems so scary!

For example, a minor roof leak might only cost a few hundred dollars to patch today, but if ignored, it could turn into a full replacement later.I recently ran into this exact situation with a water heater.

People like trees, water, views, walk out basements, isolation.Check on water.
