>In Florida a data center drew water in an unauthorized way and the surrounding community had issues with brown water and had to go into water rationing.
Can you cite a source for this? I can't find it anywhere.
I thought that might be what you were referring to. As far as I know the issues there were construction causing turbidity, and water used for construction accidentally going metered. Neither are really relevant to it being a datacenter. Apparently it'll use closed-loop cooling, so it's not going to draw much water in operation either.
