Provider notes
Water. Estimated daily water usage of 5,929 gallons for the 90,000 sq ft facility — about 0.0059 million gallons per day. This is the project's own estimate as presented to the Beaver Dam City Council, not a measured figure, and the source does not identify a cooling method.
What the source record says
A 90,000-square-foot single-story regional edge data center — a separate, much smaller project from Meta's ~700,000-square-foot Beaver Dam campus already tracked. Council deliberations raised water use, utility rates and tax-fairness concerns. Coordinates are a municipality-level locator; the site is at Highway 151 and Hemlock Road.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
Status history supplied by the source

Sources and attribution
These sources are listed for the whole row. Unless a figure links to its own source, the provider does not mark which one gave it, so a figure may not appear in every source.

Compute Atlas 1.34.1 with retained prior rows and publication holds. This is a DataCenterData composite, not an unmodified publisher edition. This row uses the captured source from 1.34.1, source as of 2026-10-14T20:40:52.293Z.
That does not mean the row is wrong, and it does not mean no reviewed record exists for the same place. A link is added only when an identifier or source establishes the match.
