Grid & water — why here
source: HIFLD · EPAThe closest existing grid infrastructure and the municipal water system this location sits in — the same constraints the buildout model screens on (it won't site a campus more than ~2 km from a substation or ~5 km from municipal water). Distances are straight-line to public HIFLD/EPA features, not a metered connection.

Water use
No measured record exists, so this is a low-confidence model from 5 MW (interconnection capacity): 2 L/kWh cooling (hot climate) + 0.55 gal/kWh embedded in SOCO grid mix. How we estimate. Have a utility document? Send it and we'll replace this with the real figure.
