@parkyt: 3 Million Gallons Wasted: The Data Center Disaster Next Door Y'all are not gonna believe what just happened just across the state line in El Reno, Oklahoma. A catastrophic water line leak at a small 7-megawatt data center facility ruptured, dumping over 3,000,000 gallons of clean municipal drinking water into the dirt—tanking water pressure across town, disrupting schools, and wasting enough water to supply dozens of families for an entire year. And that was just a tiny 7-megawatt facility! Developers in Coffeyville are trying to push through a 35 to 100-megawatt hyperscale data center that would consume millions of gallons of water from our Verdigris River watershed. In Cheyenne, Wyoming, Meta's data center cooling flushes dumped dangerous bacteria into city sewers, and in Oregon, tech giants sucked up a third of a town's water supply. Our city leaders are rushing into talks with zero binding environmental protections and zero infrastructure bonds. Attend the upcoming city commission meeting and demand an immediate 12-month legal moratorium... see you on day 43! #Coffeyville #Kansas #TechAccountability #AIRisks #datacenters
