Does this data center consume the water in question or return it to the river after it's cooled the data center?

Consumes it. If you look at the picture in the article, you'll see the steam rising above the cooling towers. Why they didn't just design the facility to use treated sewage for that purpose is beyond me. Oh yeah, capitalism and fake "don't be evil" platitudes.
