A report reveals that before opening, Meta's 800 million dollar data center campus in Wyoming introduced a rare bacterium into Cheyenne's recycled water system via cooling line flushing, impacting local water supplies. The post explains that data center cooling systems require a fill-and-flush process before commissioning. This time, the discharged water carried Cupriavidus gilardii into the city's reclaimed water network.
