Community or watchdog record
Drew significant local backlash after it was revealed that QTS had secretly consumed 29 mil gallons of water over 9–15 months during construction, discovered when residents began complaining about low pressure. The use far exceeded the max agreed to during planning. Tom's Hardware. In response, Fayetteville's city council passed Ordinance 26-0-12, banning new data centers in every zoning district in the city. Construction began in 2023 and is not expected to be completed for 3 to 5 years. | FracTracker Alliance (national project monitor)
