Consumption Ceiling. The permit shall state maximum annual and peak-day water consumption, which shall not exceed [5,000] gallons per day cumulative for all operations, including server cooling, building climate control, and site maintenance, unless the Board makes written findings supporting a different ceiling. Exceedance of any ceiling is a violation. Water for server and computing rack cooling is restricted under subsection (B); this ceiling governs all other water use and total cumulative facility consumption in any event.

Verification. Before operations commence, a licensed professional engineer shall verify by pressure testing or equivalent inspection that all Closed-Loop systems are leak-tight. Cooling system integrity shall be re-verified upon any Material Change to the cooling plant.
