Google wanting to draw 1.5 million gallons/day when the article says that across the state 330 million gallons/day are already drawn, mostly for agriculture, doesn’t seem like “scary pressuring of local government”.

IUUC the 1.5 million is all from a single rapidly disappearing aquifer, while the 333 million is, as you said, the total of all groundwater usage across the entire state.
The use also seems totally unnecessary, as to use an example from the article, the NSA's Fort Meade data center uses wastewater.
