AI data center project secretly sucked 29 million gallons of water over 15 months before detected by residents complaining about low water pressure — officials refuse to fine builders of massive 6.2 million-square-foot facility over unauthorized water use

Fayette County, Georgia, was telling residents to stop watering their lawns to conserve water. The request came after homeowners in a nearby subdivision reported unusually low water pressure, but when the county investigated, it found the cause: a data center campus 20 miles south of Atlanta had been drawing roughly 29 million gallons through two water connections the county didn't know existed, Politico reported Saturday.

Quality Technology Services (QTS), the Blackstone-owned developer behind the 615-acre Fayetteville campus, owed $147,474 in retroactive charges for the unmetered consumption, but the county didn’t fine the company.

Stephen Allen Schwarzman is the chairman and CEO of the private equity firm Blackstone Inc.

Schwarzman was raised in a Jewish family

In 2011, The Wall Street Journal reported on the vast water consumption of wealthy Palm Beach residents during exceptional drought conditions.[94] Schwarzman was listed as a top-five water user, having consumed 7,409,688 gallons between June 2010 and May 2011. The average Palm Beach resident consumes 108,000 gallons per year.[95]

In 2025, Schwarzman had tankers of water delivered from standpipes in a drought-affected area of Hampshire, England, to his 2,500-acre estate Conholt Park in the neighboring county of Wiltshire, to help fill a lake on his land. The BBC reported that Southern Water had, in response, imposed a ban on tankers taking the water.[96]

Americans must go without water so that our AI overlords can be cooled.

The water was promised to Schwarzman 3,000 years ago.
