O’Leary data center project seeks Utah’s permission for another water right
Another ranch in Box Elder County’s Hansel Valley is looking to transfer water to Kevin O’Leary’s massive Stratos data center project. Murray Hollow L.C. submitted a change application to the Utah Division of Water Rights on April 28, seeking to convey water historically used for domestic and livestock use to industrial use for a natural gas plant and associated data center, according to the application. The new application for roughly 11 acre-feet per year is far smaller than a previous change request filed by Bar H Ranch last month that would have transferred roughly 1,900 acre-feet to the Stratos project developers. The Bar H application was pulled earlier this month after it had amassed nearly 4,000 protests.
