Data Centers to Get Recycled Water | Columbus News

Columbus is tackling its water crisis by turning to recycled, non-potable water to cool booming data centers—saving drinking water while powering tech giants like Amazon and Google. The city’s new plan could deliver 40 million gallons daily, but only to centers near the Southerly Treatment Plant, leaving areas like New Albany out. Officials are still setting quality standards and eyeing a new plant for underserved zones, with construction slated for spring 2027. Crucially, tech companies—not city taxpayers—will fund this infrastructure, turning a water emergency into a targeted, self-sustaining solution.
