The water needed for a proposed data centre in west Saint John wouldn’t be a significant drain on the city’s Spruce Lake industrial supply, according to the registration document filed as part of the environmental impact assessment process.

But the centre, which would have a natural-gas power-generation plant for some of its needs, would require a significant amount of power at 390 megawatts.

it would also produce enough greenhouse gases to make it one of the top emitters in the province, according to the environmental impact assessment, or EIA, documents registered last week.

So, they are going to cool it with hopes and dreams?

It's cute, how they're saying it won't be a strain on the city water system or the industrial supply. They're not denying that it'll strain the overall water supply, draining aquifers or lakes or whatever, just that it won't affect these specific water supplies.
