A Data Center at the Old Crystal Geyser Plant?
Plain summary: A possible data-center inquiry at the former Crystal Geyser bottling plant has been community-relayed but not confirmed by a formal public proposal. The issue should be checked early because the site is tied to water, grid, airshed, and public-review concerns.
First question: How would it be cooled?
Why that matters: evaporative cooling can use substantial local water; closed-loop or air cooling can use much less local water but more electricity. The cooling design shapes most of the public questions.
Ask for: full public review, cooling design, gallons per day, megawatts required, backup power plan, grid upgrades, permanent jobs, tax-break requests, and whether CEQA review applies.
Status: no formal application, named company, or technical proposal is identified in the brief.
