Millard County, Utah, is preparing for the arrival of two large AI data centers in 2025, which have sparked concerns about their substantial water consumption amid ongoing drought conditions. Estimates suggest that these centers could use up to five million gallons of water per day, potentially equating to the annual water needs of the city of Sandy. A proposed bill may limit transparency in reporting water usage, raising further worries about the environmental impact in a region where over 65% is experiencing severe drought.
