Full build-out allows ten buildings, with no more than three using evaporative cooling. The water calculation uses a 362.60 acre-foot annual industrial right. Demand above that amount triggers a water-resource fee; peaks above 1.6 million gallons per day trigger additional production charges.

Microsoft must fund and construct the required water mains, wastewater discharge line, pumps and storage. If actual operations need more capacity than the engineering study assumed, Microsoft must pay for a new study and the additional improvements.

A $9 million payment funds added water-production capacity. A $5 million infrastructure deposit must be increased so escrow covers at least 110% of estimated improvement costs. Water impact fees are waived or reimbursed after the production payment.

Phase-three occupancy depends on completion and city acceptance of required utility improvements. Later building permits depend on the $9 million payment. Written amendments require both parties’ signatures and city-council approval.
