Norwalk City Council Approves $12B Data Center Project: Mayor Addresses Water Concerns
The Norwalk city council has greenlit a $12 billion data center project on 282 acres, addressing residents water use worries. Mayor Tom Phillips clarified that the citys daily water allowance is 4.1 million gallons, with only 2 million used currently. The data center would require 400,000 gallons, well below the 650,000 gallon industry allocation. Despite community concerns about noise, water demands, and potential pollution, the data center owner will cover its own water costs, and these facilities produce fewer emissions than traditional factories. No specific company has submitted plans yet, keeping the project in its early stages.
