“When the county utility investigated, officials discovered two industrial-scale water hookups feeding a data center. […] One water connection had been installed without the utility’s knowledge”
How could an industrial sized hookup be installed without the water company knowing? At first glance that doesn’t seem possible and it’s more likely someone at the water company dropped the ball or was being shady.
It’s the latter. That’s physically impossible at those pressures - mains access for that size of pipe is locked out (and dangerous). And it’s bullshit that they “didn’t know” until they got complaints about pressure - municaplities of ANY size monitor pressure for serviceability and boil order recommendations. Someone knew 100% and pretended to be dumb.
