flag Michigan's outdated water systems struggle under data center growth, amid funding shortfalls and climate pressures.

flag Michigan’s aging water systems, rated poorly by a 2023 report, face increasing strain from the rapid growth of data centers, raising sustainability concerns. flag The state’s infrastructure, much over 50 years old, faces an annual funding gap of $860 million to $1.1 billion. flag In Mason, officials are studying water and aquifer capacity to set usage standards for data centers, which must comply with environmental regulations and cover infrastructure costs. flag While public concerns about contamination and overuse persist, officials say evidence does not support significant water quality risks, though land use and visual impacts remain issues. flag Climate change worsens challenges with increased precipitation and overwhelmed storm sewers.
