Requires DEP to conduct study of short and long term effects of water use by large-scale data centers.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to study how large data centers impact water resources. The study must examine short-term (3-year) and long-term (7-year) water use effects on drinking/wastewater systems, environmental impacts, operational efficiency, and costs to public infrastructure and ratepayers. It also mandates an analysis of potential water-saving strategies for data centers and future facility projections. The DEP must submit a written report with findings and potential recommendations within 15 months. This is a procedural study bill with no immediate regulatory changes, focusing solely on gathering data to inform future policy.
