Then let it die.

“officials discovered two industrial-scale water hookups feeding a data center campus located 20 miles south of downtown Atlanta. One water connection had been installed without the utility’s knowledge, and the other was not linked to the company’s account and therefore wasn’t being billed.”
A data center drained 30M gallons of water unnoticed — until residents complained about low water pressure — POLITICO
Residents in Fayetteville, Georgia, noticed low water pressure last year. The utility discovered two unaccounted-for water connections at one of the nation’s largest data center campuses.

If buying isn't owning then piracy can't be theft. Any reasonable corporation knows that.
