As The Dalles City Council took testimony on Monday night on the proposed Strategic Investment Plan agreement with Google for two new facilities on the former aluminum plant and rodeo grounds, there were some questions asked surrounding water usage that would be required for a new data center.  Water issues are not a part of the SIP agreement, but they are being discussed by the City and Google representatives, and will eventually come before the City Council.  Mayor Rich Mays says they are currently negotiating with Google to build water facilities to accommodate both the company and the rest of the City, adding municipal residents won’t be impacted, adding the water system Google will use may generate excess capacity outside of their facility.  The water plans for the project are expected to come before the Council in a couple of months, if the Strategic Investment Plan agreement is approved by both the City and Wasco County.
