The property must connect to the City of Regina’s water main for “essential” potable water to meet fire safety regulations. The cooling system for the centre’s databanks will otherwise be a closed-loop system, filled separately, according to the report.
Sure, sprinklers are required, but no reason that has to be connected to city water. And if the cooling system is that efficient and closed-loop, they could fill it by trucking in water instead. If they only have to fill it up once with the occasional top-off, filling the system up by tanker truck is a perfectly viable option.

What a bunch of horseshit.

Are you disagreeing with municipal bylaws? They seem reasonable to me.
