Save this for all the people claiming that data centers don’t actually use that much water.

The sole fact that data on a company destroying the environment can be considered a trade secret is all you need to know.
All this pollution and water consumption and they're getting the full tax reimbursed.. Literally not a single benefit in this slop generator
However, using a computer cursor to highlight the redacted text box in the report to DWEE, then copying and pasting it into a separate document reveals that Agate LLC is reporting 52.65 megawatts of electricity during peak electrical demand and 13.299 megagallons of water between cooling towers, evaporative systems and site operations in the last year. That totals out to 13 million gallons of water.
For context, 13 million gallons is enough to fill around 20 Olympic-size swimming pools, and is less than half of what the City of Lincoln reports using on Sept. 29.
