The company commissioned an independent groundwater study to investigate Morris's concerns. According to the report, its data center operation did "not adversely affect groundwater conditions in the area".

I’ve had well water before. It changes over time and needs to be filtered.

I guess this depends on things like location, soil type, and environmentally disruptive neighbours.

I grew up in a Scandinavian forest with a well, no filtering needed. Sure, after heavy rainfall the water could end up containing a few more minerals than usual, but it would never require filtering, and the house has been standing for almost 40 years now without sediments building up.

Same here. I grew up in the woods of maine. No filter needed. My friends a few dozen kilometers away had horrible water though.

"They shouldn't be doing it," Mr Rogers says. "A larger wealthier property owner does not have more property rights than a smaller, less wealthy property owner."

But seriously, aren't heat pumps usable for cooling data centers, apart from being more expensive?
