The Dalles City Council approved a $28.5million dollar agreement to build out the city’s potable water system to supply two new Google Data Centers with billions of gallons of water at 7:35 p.m. this evening.

The Dalles Dog River Pipeline which is responsible for bringing 54% of The Dalles water supply is in need of repair. The pipeline leaks an estimated 1 million gallons per day during the spring months.
