Potomac River Named Most Endangered in U.S. for 2026, Citing Data Center Growth and Water Demands

The Potomac River has been named the most endangered river in the U.S. for 2026, primarily due to rapid and uncontrolled data center expansion in its watershed and related water demands in Virginia. Environmental groups are calling for greater transparency, cumulative impact assessments, and better planning regarding data center water and electricity usage, especially in Loudoun and Prince William counties. While some legislation has passed to require water usage reporting, critics argue it does not go far enough to address the significant environmental strain.

Data center offers incentives for Hutto services

Iron Mountain Data Centers is proposing to build a large facility in Williamson County, near Hutto, Texas, offering incentives to the city in exchange for wastewater services. The Hutto City Council discussed the offer, which is unusual as developers typically seek incentives rather than provide them. The proposed site is located in Taylor's extraterritorial jurisdiction and plans for seven data center buildings and an electric substation.
