From the meeting
The ordinance draft would require closed-loop or other low-water cooling systems and prohibit open-loop or evaporative cooling and private wells for data centers. The board discussed water scarcity, utility impacts, and whether the ordinance should steer design toward lower-water technologies. This is a concrete policy move that will shape future design submittals and consultant work for any applicant pursuing a data center in Davidson County.
