Water use and wastewater from data centers
Summary
Cooling is the water question. Council members pushed for closed-loop systems only — no evaporative cooling or open water sources — and insisted cooling water be treated before it hits the city sewer. The draft would meter any municipal water use and let the city shut off overuse.

Impact analysis
Water rules protect the city's supply; a closed-loop fill could still draw an Olympic-pool-sized amount of city water once, and treatment requirements fall on the developer.
Every water customer in a desert city — closed-loop rules keep data centers from competing with homes for water.
