Google Water Agreement Next Step For TD Council To Consider

The Dalles City Council on Monday evening approved a Strategic Improvement Plan agreement with Google and Wasco County for development of a portion of the former aluminum plant site the company purchased, but there are still other steps remaining for the project to move forward.  Most notably, the Council will consider an agreement for water use and infrastructure at the panel’s November 8 meeting.  Mayor Rich Mays says he has heard concerns from some residents about water needs for the data center, but says improvements by Google will result in an increase in the City’s water capacity.  The agreement also calls for Google to transfer water rights they received in the aluminum plant property purchase to the City, and data center water will be treated post-cooling.
