AI Data Center Consumed 29 Million Gallons Undetected for 15 Months; Officials Declined to Fine the 6.2-Million-Square-Foot Facility

A data center facility consumed twenty-nine million gallons of water over fifteen months without detection. Residents reported low water pressure. Investigation identified the facility as the source. The facility's operational requirements include continuous water access. Officials reviewed the incident and determined no fine would be issued.

This follows the pattern of identified violations that do not result in penalties. The regulatory department maintains responsibility for enforcement and water allocation. The facility maintains operational status. Both conditions persist simultaneously. The documentation of the incident is complete.

Water pressure in the service area will remain variable. The facility will continue to require water. The department will continue to maintain responsibility without exercising it. This is now the established state. It will continue until a different decision is made. No indication suggests a different decision will be made.
