\n

Switch has demonstrated its commitment to a net positive water strategy by initiating investments that will more than completely balance its water use footprint. Our goal is to protect the world\u2019s most precious resources and to reduce the environmental impact in the communities where we do business. We calculate that during the coming decade, Switch will replenish and restore up to two times more water than it uses operationally. By colocating with Switch you can reduce your own water footprint and contribute to water conservation efforts.<\/p>\n
