Hi James,
Sorry for the delayed response. As I mentioned at our onsite meeting, we won’t produce enough to the level needed to support the data center. I know you are interested in all available water and that does come down to a policy decision. I have been working on getting a meeting set up with our Council subcommittee to brief them on this potential.
Please keep in mind that this is a theoretical discussion at this point since Airway Heights doesn’t have the ability to serve outside of its water service area. That would only be possible if Airway Heights had permission from the City of Spokane since your property falls within their jurisdiction. I did see your email reaching out to Spokane to start the conversation. While you are having conversations with the City of Spokane, I will continue to move the conversation forward on Airway Heights end. Council just recently re-shuffled their committee responsibilities and I am looking to get a meeting set up in the next month.
Thank you,
Katherine

Hi Katherine,
Thanks again for the treatment plant tour, appreciate your time to show me around!
Just following up to see if you have any updates from your consultant on the reuse water plan. As discussed, from a Data Center development perspective we would be interested in taking whatever as much flows as you have available and also taking advantage of the Shoulder months and Winter season to potentially build-up onsite storage at the data center site. As you probably saw I have reached out to Marlene Feist at Spokane City Council to discuss the jurisdictional situation.
Thanks!

I’m at a conference in the morning on the 17th, but I am actually in Spokane on Friday morning as well (19th) if that works?

James,
Unfortunately the 18th won’t work at that time, I have a project bid opening starting at 10:30. Also my LO is actually on vacation starting on the 18th thru the following week. Any chance you could meet before 8 am on the 17th?

Hi Katherine, thanks for the response – Unfortunately those times don’t work for me, would it be possible to still do a facility walk through with the LO on the 18th anytime after 10:30am? It would be good to get a sense of the facility and learn more about the plant capacity and process.
Thanks,
James

Hi James,
I’m available on the following days:
17th 11-12 or 1-2
18th 1-2
Let me know if any of those times work for you. I will have our Lead Operator available and can provide a walk through if you have time and would like a tour.
I have been able to make contact with our consultant and he is working on my request. I should have a status update for you by next week. Regarding water sampling, I would recommend we get through the feasibility/technical and jurisdictional questions before spending money on water quality tests.
Thank you,
Katherine

Hi Katherine,
Just a quick check-in to see if you have made any progress with your consultant?
Also, I will be in Spokane next week on Wednesday (17th PM) and Thursday (18th all-day) and was wondering if you may be available to meet briefly? I’d like to figure out the logistics of getting some samples taken (does cawh have a ‘goto’ vendor for sampling that we could use?), and learn a bit more about the treatment plant while am there.
Thanks,
James

Hi Katherine,
Thank you for the update and we will wait to hear more information when you have reconnected with your consulting contact.
Also, thank you for the WQD, I'll look into sampling costs and reach out to discuss the field sampling effort logistics.
Have a great holiday weekend!

James, Sean
Just following up from our meeting last week. I will need to contact our consultant who has overseen the City’s reclaimed water system and modeling for several years. That person has recently left their previous employment and has opened their own consulting firm. I share this to say, I may need to establish a new contract before I am able to provide a complete answer to your question about capacity.
In the meantime, you had also asked about any water quality information. I’m happy to share the attached report, but would recommend you doing your own sampling for future planning purposes. This information is shared as information only and is not intended to be the basis of any decisions.
Thank you,
Katherine
