The neighbors of a data center in Georgia are steaming after they discovered the facility had sucked up nearly 30 million gallons of water — without initially paying for it.

By “drained” they mean stole.
“One water connection had been installed without the utility’s knowledge, and the other was not linked to the company’s account and therefore wasn’t being billed.”
Exactly. If I modified my water meter to hide my usage, or tapped my neighbor’s pipes, I’d go to jail. This data center needs to be shut down and the owners investigated and charged with felonies.
Yeah, but you see you’re not cooling millions of dollars of GPUs so someone can make AI generated tits or cheat on homework. That’s a public service!

Bullshit the utility knew. I worked in the water industry. No way the corporation took 30 million gallons of water without their knowledge. Totally Bullshit! They knew, just paid to turn a blind eye.
