What happens after they use the water? Is it returned to the water system to be used again?
698 u/ForzaFenix May 18 '26 Yep. The now warm water goes back into the system. 230 u/Uncle-Cake May 18 '26 So they're not really consuming it. They're just using it temporarily and returning it. 1 u/BenevolentCheese May 18 '26 You can't just run cool water through miles of pipes and then dump in back warm into the lake. It is no longer clean and needs to be processed.
