How much water do data centers in West Feliciana Parish use?

Hut 8 Corp · West Feliciana Parish on May 19, 2026: Agreement to invest approximately $16 million expanding the parish water system alongside the River Bend campus: a new well, roughly eight miles of water main, and related upgrades to be transferred to the parish at no taxpayer cost. Hut 8 states the improvements could benefit more than 4,000 households and 200+ employer establishments, with completion expected in the second half of 2026. The agreement expands the parish supply system; it does not itself disclose a campus withdrawal source or volume. LouisianAI does not infer cooling design from river adjacency or from a nearby parish.

How much water do data centers in West Feliciana Parish use?

Where does West Feliciana Parish data center water come from?
