Governor Greg Abbott has taken steps to address non-compliance with water reporting rules. Major water users, such as data centers, are subject to penalties for failing to provide required information. The governor has directed a state board to enforce reporting requirements and take action against companies that do not comply.
Further action may include legal measures against companies with past violations. The goal is to ensure that all major water users, including booming data centers, fulfill their obligations to report water consumption. Details of the enforcement plan and potential penalties are available from the Texas Water Development Board, which has been tasked with implementing the governor's directive.
