Description

Description

A 6.6 million-square-foot data center project by Quality Technology Services (QTS) in Fayetteville, Georgia, was found to have drained over 29 million gallons of water without initially paying for it, causing water pressure issues in the local community amid drought conditions. The project is still under development and has been linked to unusually high water consumption due to temporary construction needs. The water system has since integrated the data center's meters and charged retroactive fees.
