Data centers in Iowa must submit quarterly water usage reports to the Department of Natural Resources, including total water input in gallons, water sources (municipal, groundwater, or surface water), and water usage effectiveness calculations

New data centers must file initial reports within 3 months of starting operations; existing centers operating for at least one year must report within 3 months of the act's effective date

The Iowa Utilities Commission must establish a separate tariff classification for data centers distinct from other commercial or industrial electricity consumers

Data center tariffs must allocate electricity service costs proportionally to avoid shifting costs to other retail electricity consumers and must mitigate risks of unwarranted cost increases for other ratepayers

The Department must publish all water usage reports on its website within 30 days of receipt, and data centers must notify the department at least 60 days before implementing substantial operational changes
