When the county utility investigated, officials discovered two industrial-scale water hookups feeding a data center campus located 20 miles south of downtown Atlanta. One water connection had been installed without the utility’s knowledge, and the other was not linked to the company’s account and therefore wasn’t being billed.
I believe the only reasonable reaction to this would be to shut down the data center immediately until this is settled. Sounds like massive fraud. Am I expecting that to happen? Hell no.
No, no… It’s not like a normal person who might get caught stealing a loaf of bread or something. That person obviously would have to go to jail. But this is a business, you see. They got caught stealing $150,000 worth of water so they just had to pay the regular price for it and now everyone is happy now.

fraud? this is plain stealing. The ones who own the data center should go to prison.

Pay for it? Are you implying they did something wrong? Oh, come on! We should beg them not to leave… Maybe if we pay them for their inconvenience…
/s obviously
At least shut off both water connections and fine the shit out of them for theft
