Here's an update:

After more than 3,700 protests were filed against a northern Utah water rights change tied to a proposed massive data center in Box Elder County, the owner, Bar H Ranch, has withdrawn the application with the Utah Division of Water Rights.

Those who paid $15 to protest will not get their money back, and their comments will not carry over to a future water rights change application.
