While you're not wrong that data centers are making it worse that's not the true issue with Utah's water problems. At least not yet.
In Utah the vast majority of our water (~80%) goes towards agriculture, specifically for alfalfa a water intensive crop that is primarily used for animal feed and most is sold off to China which accounts for like 1% of our economy. All of this is done in a state that is primarily a desert and is currently experiencing a drought and just recorded a record low snow fall.
You may be wondering what the state government is doing to help the situation? Well absolutely nothing, they have told all of us to pray for rain since its a Republican shithole run by Mormons. To add more issues our governor has a huge conflict of interest as he owns many of these alfalfa farms and the state is currently trying to build the largest data center in the country that will double the states water demands.
We are utterly fucked and Lake Powell and the Great Salt Lake will dry up within the next 5-10 years. The Great Salt Lake is what provides Utah with its snow each year too which our states slogan is "the greatest snow on earth".
