We ask Reese Tisdale of Bluefield Research how data centers are reshaping water demand, rates, siting decisions, and public trust. We weigh the real risks against practical solutions like onsite reuse, liquid cooling, and utility partnerships that fix leaks and modernize networks.
• AI-driven demand accelerates data center growth and water use
• Municipal supply dependence and pressure on local systems
• Greenfield siting momentum versus brownfield opportunities
• Rate stability, stranded cost risk, and fairness between customer classes
• Private utility rate cases and rising scrutiny of cross-subsidies
• Overbuilding risk and planning exposure for communities
• Liquid cooling, onsite reuse, and circular water loops
• Corporate offsets, wetland projects, and PR versus performance
• Environmental pushback, drought rules, and regional constraints
• Digital tools for utilities: AMI, SCADA, predictive analytics
• Balancing innovation with reliability and public trust
