Meta Stanton Springs (Newton) data center campus
Also called: Meta Newton Data Center
Meta runs a large data center campus at Stanton Springs along I-20. The Newton County water authority says it uses about 10% of the county's daily water. In 2026, nearby Morgan County residents said their well water became muddy after construction; the cause is unclear.
Where things stand: Running since about 2020; a three-building, 1.5 million square foot expansion was added in 2023 (per Baxtel).
🕒 Latest update (May 2026): Morgan County residents near the site said their well water turned muddy; the EPA said it would review.
