$10 million wastewater line to transport cooling water from Lincoln data center to recovery site

A $10 million wastewater line is being constructed to transport cooling water from Google's new data center in Lincoln, Nebraska. Google is expected to finance the dedicated underground pipeline, which will carry water to a recovery facility. According to utilities, the water will undergo inspection at the recovery facility. If it adheres to state and federal requirements, it will then be discharged into Salt Creek under a state-issued permit. The City of Lincoln, when questioned about the daily volume of water, did not provide specific figures but confirmed that commercial and industrial water use is accounted for in their long-term planning.
