EPA Investigates Meta Data Center Water Quality; Thames Water Deal Faces Criticism
The EPA will investigate potential drinking water contamination linked to a Meta data center in Morgan County, Georgia. Concurrently, a deal involving Thames Water's rescue is under scrutiny amid concerns over private equity control and environmental impacts.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is set to investigate drinking water quality issues in Morgan County, Georgia, potentially linked to a Meta Inc. data center construction. Concerns were raised during a congressional hearing when Rep.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez presented jars of brown water from the area, where residents report relying on bottled water due to contamination fears. Meanwhile, negotiations for a rescue deal involving Thames Water have intensified, with Elliott Investment Management positioned to profit significantly from the arrangement.
Critics argue the deal may allow continued environmental neglect, as Elliott seeks leniency on regulatory measures. This scenario raises risks of further public health impacts in both contexts, emphasizing the need for stringent oversight in utility management.
