    Because that’s expensive to build on this scale. They’d have to cool the water back down again.

    It’s cheaper to just run cold tapwater in at a fast rate, and dump the hot water intothe sewer.

    Which is why we need laws that go after industries that use insane amounts of water, if we don’t it causes shortages and everyone’s rate to go up

      There should be a cost to corporations using municipal water supplies for purposes unrelated to direct consumption for drinking, cooking, washing, toilets. You shouldn’t be able to use it for cooling only, and you shouldn’t be able to bottle and resell it.
