Yeah as far as I was able to find out even closed loop systems have to be regularly bleed out to control mineral buildup. People argue about closed loop systems as it's some kind of perpetum moblie you fill it up and it lasts forever which is not true, that's why they don't use coolants either because none of that lasts forever, they're just saving a lot of money by being able to dump toxic wastewater without immediate ecological disaster

Is that supposed to be a positive? Those local plants have capacity, and they are meant to serve the needs of the community who finances said plants through their taxes.

It's not ok to just dump billions of additional gallons (for no real benefit) into those existing systems.

They should be required to build and maintain their own treatment plants, at the very least.
