Georgia Association of Water Professionals (GAWP)

Data Centers are a moving into Georgia at a faster pace. These centers can be heavy water users, which for utilities bring some positives and possibly some challenges. There are many perspectives and pieces around data centers from recruitment, site placement, infrastructure creation, project design, regional planning, and more. Join us at GAWP on October 31 for this half-day workshop (which includes lunch) to learn about data centers through the viewpoints of six different perspectives – consultant, owners, economic development, energy, water planning, and utility.  Check out the agenda and register on our website: https://lnkd.in/etJpWxEZ #GAWP #WaterProfessionals #DataCenters
