The Dalles City Council spent much of their Monday meeting hearing from Public Works Director Dave Anderson and discussing Google’s water needs for a proposed new data center on the former aluminum smelter site.  Mayor Rich Mays noted the agreement that will come to Council next month calls for Google to spend an expected $28 million on improvements to the municipal water and sewer system, and the improvements will result in additional capacity for the rest of the City.  He also adds the agreement will call for Google to pay the same water and sewer rates as other industrial and commercial users in The Dalles.  Mays was part of the team that has negotiated with Google.  He says both the water agreement and a separate Strategic Investment Plan contract will come before the Council at its October 25 meeting.
