[kwlug-disc] Tonight: Some water-related hearing in our municipality -- is it regarding data centers?

[Paul Nijjar]

No, it is probably not about datacenters. There have been problems
with water capacity in the Mannheim plant, and that has affected the
region's ability to approve new developments.

This summary is AI-poisoned but from what I can see gives the
approximate shape of events.

I wish there was a better timeline that
was confirmed as being correct. The Region of Waterloo has a page
(https://www.regionofwaterloo.ca/programs-and-services/water-and-wastewater/mannheim-service-area-water-capacity-information-hub/)
but it is useless for actually understanding what has happened.
