P.S. What if the colo facility offered built-in water chillers for cooling with all the water piped downhill, down the block to a cooling tower? Would this be better or safer than existing systems? Could it possibly be built this way without municipal government involvement?
Some facilities (Terremark comes to mind) offer chilled water from the local power company so you don't need to have your own chillers. What is the fault tolerance requirement for a power-company chiller plant though? Deepak Jain AiNET
