Commission debates requiring water feasibility studies for data centers
Summary
Commissioners discussed adding a mandatory 'water feasibility study' to the township's draft Data Center criteria after receiving a public letter urging water-usage language; no final decision was recorded.
Lower Towamensing officials discussed adding explicit water-usage language and a required water feasibility study to the township's draft Data Center ordinance at the Sept. 9 special meeting.
Engineer Steve Dellinger told the commission that the Data Center draft needed language concerning a required water feasibility study. "they had to add language concerning the requirement of a water feasibility study for Data Centers," the minutes state. Chair Angela Farrell read a letter from Save Carbon County urging inclusion of water-usage considerations in the ordinance. Dellinger asked whether the commission had discussed the PennFuture Monroe County model Data Center ordinance, noting the commission had received a copy but he did not believe it had been discussed in depth.
The commission did not adopt final Data Center text at the session and left the matter for further consideration in later drafting.
