From Ginny Kerslake:
🚨And now this……
Sentinel Green Fig, the developer behind the proposed hyper scale data center project in East Whiteland Township does not have the required commitment from Aqua for the water it needs for the approved 2024 plan.
Not by a long shot
I filed a RTK request over a month ago for the required will-serve letter from Aqua. I finally got my response from the township today.
The letter below from September 2024,
is all that they have. Not only did it expire almost a year ago, but in it Aqua tells Green Fig they cannot supply the 2,900 gallons per minute (4.25M gallons per day) they need. Aqua can only provide 20% of that. Sorry Charlie……
đź”´Sentinel Green Fig does not have the water they need for their approved plan. Without that water, the plan is dead. This developer doesn’t just WANT changes to the approved plan to conserve water – they NEED those changes.
The modifications they are requesting including changing the cooling system and removing the basement/relocating the generators to the outside require approval by the Board of Supervisors.
The Supervisors have two choices. They can vote NO to the requested changes and the data center plan is dead. Or they can breathe new life into it by approving the changes, despite the harms that it will bring.
My burning question is WHO knew WHAT and WHEN?
Oh, and aren’t there some very specific things from PECO they need?
