Via The Midwesterner:
In an unanimous vote Tuesday night, the Ypsilanti Township Board of Trustees passed Resolution 2026-08, formally requesting that the Ypsilanti Community Utilities Authority impose an immediate 12-month moratorium on water and sewer services for data centers, AI computing facilities, and high-performance computing sites.
If the YCUA’s commissioners agree, the moratorium would include the controversial $1.25 billion University of Michigan and Los Alamos National Laboratory data center project.
[…] Projected to use up to 500,000–650,000 gallons of water per day for evaporative cooling, officials are now urging the utility to review the cumulative impacts of high-volume water users, including the UM-Los Alamos facility.
