Straight-line distances. Nearest named waterway via the USGS National Hydrography Dataset; nearest transmission line via HIFLD. Baseline water stress and groundwater trend describe the surrounding hydrological basin (WRI Aqueduct 4.0, CC BY 4.0) — not this facility’s measured water use. Principal-aquifer system underlying the location (USGS, mapped at 1:2,500,000 — regional context, not site hydrogeology).
Closed-loop cooling with recirculated water-and-glycol fluid rather than continuous consumption. PathOne estimates 350,000 to 700,000 gallons annually for a 10 MW facility and 875,000 to 1.7 million gallons per year at 25 MW. Residents pressed for enforceable commitments rather than estimates, and raised the impact on nearby wells.
Sioux County has a one-year moratorium on data centers in unincorporated areas, effective 2026-06-16, and no formal county approval has been granted. At a public meeting residents sought specific enforceable commitments rather than estimates, and raised water supply impact on nearby wells, low-frequency noise effects on people and livestock, construction duration and evening work schedules, and accountability under future ownership. PathOne says it will pay full property taxes without requesting abatement, and projects 10 to 20 permanent full-time positions plus temporary construction jobs.
