The utility was already aware the data center would be using the water

So that means I can ask for an electric hookup, and then tap a second hookup without telling the electric company and it's not illegal. If I get caught, no arrest, no fine, just pay back what I used before getting caught.

What makes it particularly suspicious is that they used more water than they agreed to. So we have a situation where they didn't tell the water utility about one hookup AND used more than they agreed to. I wonder why they didn't mention the extra hookup?
