El Reno Data Center Faces Safety Violations Amid Major Water Leak
A water leak at an El Reno data center operated by Athlon BT has led to safety violations and local service disruptions. The facility specializes in AI storage and Bitcoin mining, raising concerns about its environmental impact on local agriculture.

The El Reno data center, managed by Athlon BT, is under scrutiny following a water leak that caused the shutdown of schools and disrupted local water services. City documents indicate multiple safety and code violations, including expired building permits, drainage issues, and hazardous structures.
The leak resulted in the loss of three million gallons of water. An administrative hearing is scheduled for next month to address these issues. The growing presence of such facilities may pose risks to local agriculture, as expressed by residents concerned about their environmental impact.
