One of the selling points they mention is that they won't need to use any fresh water for cooling.

My understanding was that water-demands on Earth were an overblown issue and minuscule when compared to other uses of fresh water such as watering one acre of farmland.

Not to mention, "used" water is just "warm" water that can then be used again for other purposes.

So are they perpetuating a myth here? Or is water use a bigger issue than I thought?

Minor correction: the water is evaporated. It remains in the water cycle but is removed from the water source for any downstream users.
