Lighthouse — Port Washington

Port Washington, Wisconsin Under construction

Public agency records add to the developer and tenant statements. Cooling promises, permits and future results from running the site are different kinds of evidence.

Google — The Dalles campuses

The Dalles, Oregon Operating

Google publishes location details and efficiency data for its campuses. Its water profile shows past water consumption, but not today’s highest demand (the “peak demand”).

Google — Douglas County

Douglas County, Georgia Operating

Google reports substantial use of reclaimed water (treated wastewater used again) and publishes efficiency measurements for the campus. A reclaimed supply alone does not settle water consumption or effects on the watershed (the land that drains to one stream, river or lake).

Microsoft Fairwater 1 — Mount Pleasant

Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin Commissioning

Microsoft says most capacity uses a closed loop (pipes that reuse the same water), and the rest uses water “only during the hottest days”. It also acknowledges concerns about startup noise.

AWS — Wharton County campus

Boling / Wharton County, Texas Under construction

Amazon says the cooling design for its current 13-building plan uses no water, and it gives a number for drinking-water use. Future expansions are clearly outside that promise.

Prince William Digital Gateway

Gainesville / Prince William County, Virginia Approval voided

The county reports that the rezoning approvals (decisions to change how the land may be used) are void. The change to the county’s long-range plan (the “Comprehensive Plan Amendment”) remains in place. With the approvals void, the plan area is not the same as an approved, buildable campus.

Chandler, Arizona Denied

The city council denied the rezoning, which would have changed how the land may be used. It also denied the development agreement, a contract between a city and a developer.
