Cheyenne's Board of Public Utilities tightened its wastewater discharge policy following the discovery of Cupriavidus gilardii in its treatment facility earlier this year.

A rare bacteria was found in a Wyoming City's water supply and traced to wastewater coming from an under-construction Meta AI data center.

Meta has been named as the source of contamination for a rare metal and drug resistant bacterium that shut down two water reclamation plants.

Infection is rare, but it can be dangerous for those who are immunocompromised.

Real estate demand from AI companies is spilling over to warehouses, helping to absorb excess space and drive up rents near the sprawling data centers they’re building.

With public anger at AI data centers boiling over, all it takes is one bad neighbor to get every data center in town locked out. That’s the story unfolding in Cheyenne, Wyoming, where local officials are revoking waste-dumping privileges for every data center campus connected to municipal water services.
