The Dalles data center water consumption

Oh snap. The Dalles’ mayor called OPB’s data center story inaccurate. Here are the facts

An in-depth, line-by-line review of the article in response to Anderson’s letter found one error, which OPB has corrected and noted in the original story.

OPB incorrectly reported that projected monthly residential water rates are expected to climb by 7% by 2036. However, The Dalles 2024 Water System Master Plan forecasts that rates will climb by 99% by that year. OPB regrets the error.

Via.
