CBS Austin reported that the council voted early February 18 to deny the proposed Mayberry AI data center on Francis Harris Lane. Its report described projected direct water use of up to 70,000 gallons daily and unresolved questions about water associated with power generation. This was a proposed facility, not evidence of completed construction or actual water consumption. Sources differ in describing the procedural instrument: CBS calls it a Preliminary Service Agreement, while KXAN describes rejected rezoning plans. February 18 is the overnight vote date; some coverage refers to the February 17 meeting.
