Data center development is accelerating across the United States to support the AI revolution, and municipalities and water utilities are increasingly being asked to respond quickly to large, complex service requests.
In EKI’s newest white paper, “Preparing for Data Center Development: What Municipalities and Water Utilities Need to Know,” we provide a practical framework for evaluating proposed developments, including how to:
- Build an efficient and effective diligence review processes that supports responsible growth
- Evaluate site-specific water balances
- Assess water supply, wastewater and infrastructure impacts and reliability
- Identify environmental and permittng constraints
Data centers can bring meaningful economic opportunity—but responsible development depends on proactive, repeatable review processes that safeguard vital community resources.
