The Meta datacenter in Zeewolde applied to receive drinking water for use in cooling (presumably because it is well filtered). The municipal water company rejected the application.
Context is an article on the national institute for public health in NL issuing a warning there might be a shortage of potable water in 2030. Overuse, pollution and increasing droughts (climate heating) are listed as the main reasons. For a country which is essentially a river delta that is pretty intense.

WE DID IT! The Texas Observer will remain open!
Our board just voted to rescind both the layoffs and the closure. We'll have more news soon, but we believe this is the start of a very positive transformation at our publication—and you were a huge part of it. THANK YOU! You proved to the world that #TexasNeedsAnObserver!
