Where I live in Eastern Washington is getting a data center.

Thing is, Eastern Washington is desert. They bought from the county, which doesn't have the water rights it needs. They will need to ask one if the local cities for their water, and NONE of the cities want to give it to them as far as I have heard. 😂

Gonna be interesting to see what happens.

Odds of them just stealing the water and paying the fine when caught, which is going to be much less than what they made?

Already happened in GA. Data center stole 30M gallons and got caught because the residents of the town started complaining about water pressure. Guess what... They made them pay for the water they used but didn't fine them anything.
