California’s largest planned AI data center sued for Colorado River water after its recycled wastewater plan failed.Summary
Imperial Valley Computer Manufacturing, the developer of California’s biggest planned AI data center, filed a lawsuit seeking access to 280‑million gallons of Colorado River water. The company had originally pledged to use treated wastewater from nearby cities for cooling, but after two cities denied the request, the plan fell through. The lawsuit now threatens to divert water that farmers rely on, raising concerns about the environmental and agricultural impacts of large data‑center operations in the region.
