Evidence
What the evidence supports
The city says it has not needed additional water capacity because of data centers. That city page still does not provide facility-level withdrawals. Google later published company-reported 2025 campus figures for New Albany, Lancaster and Lockbourne; those remain company claims with third-party limited assurance, not municipal meter audits. Independent utility/meter records, cooling share and peak-day demand remain missing for other operators.
Still unknown
Independent utility/meter records; cooling-only share; peak-day demand; operators other than Google's company-reported 2025 campus rows.
