Summary

The bill adds new sections to Ohio’s water laws that make the owners or operators of data centers responsible for paying any water and sewer system infrastructure costs caused by their facilities. It also clarifies key terms such as "data center," "infrastructure costs," and various water‑use definitions. The aim is to keep ordinary ratepayers from shouldering those costs and to ensure fair water resource management.
