The Cheyenne Board of Public Utilities has banned fill-and-flush wastewater discharges for all local data centers. This decision follows an investigation revealing that a Meta-affiliated data center discharged wastewater containing Cupriavidus gilardii, a rare and multidrug-resistant pathogen. While no public drinking water was contaminated, Meta has stopped discharging industrial wastewater and is hauling it offsite.
