Wait for billionaire Zuck to make a quick phone call to Trump followed by a "donation" and the EPA will say that there is nothing wrong with the water.

That congresswoman was AOC.

trumps team investigating trumps buddies. We all know what's going on and the pretense that we are still living in a stable world is unbelievable.

Muddy water is a small price to pay for AI to take away your job.

I hope they regard it as attempted murder (multiple cases)!

The title is missing a significant keyword here: "construction"

A more accurate headline:

Meta data center construction allegedly muddies Georgia town's drinking water, investigation underway — EPA promises immediate investigation after congresswoman brings dirty jars of water to hearing

This isn't exclusive to datacenters, any sort of large construction projects should be under the microscope right now. If there are legal loopholes allowing water supplies to be contaminated, that should be addressed. Meta and any other companies responsible for this should be billed the costs for cleaning up or for funding additional water treatment solutions to make up for this.

It is a priority to ensure that water quality standards established by EPA are being met. And so, we'll be looking into that, certainly.

They will, of course, lower the standards.

How do they even manage that, is there no filtration at all for the water supply or have they been pumping dirty water back in - which shouldn't be allowed even if it was clean.

But all those voters in that town laughing all the way to the… hmm. What did they get out of that data center deal? A handful of jobs? No increase in the tax base? Higher power bills? Hang on a sec, is Donald Trump on a city council in Georgia? Did I miss that?

Meta in court (for the 900th time): Your honour, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger

So I don't know the specifics here and I don't doubt there is substantial environmental impact.

Do want to point out though that whenever my area has construction on water pipes we often have a flush water notice where we need to basically run our taps to flush out dirt and debris that got in during construction. Several pipes in my neighborhood were replaced in the past couple of years and we had to do it every few months. I could see that being the cause here too, if the neighborhoods are anywhere near said water pipe construction.

I do doubt the EPA will do jack about any of it. They might go out and do some survey and shake down the organization funding the work for a bribe, but there's no way they're gonna stop it if they pay up in those closed door conversations.

Don't know if its the same thing since municipal wells are usually deeper than private wells. My grandpa had a well that was only three hundred feet deep. One summer there was a drought and he used well water to keep his forty acres of crops, mostly potatoes alive. His water turned brown when he drained the well down more than usual. By November it was back to normal. It could be the stress that horrible facility has put on the local water table that has caused this and wont stop until they are stopped.

Should clean the jars before filling them with dirty water.

Zuck will just eminent domain the entire congressional district.
