Can utilities handle data centers’ electricity, sewer and water needs?

The region around Archbald, PA has enough water to supply data centers, but utility officials acknowledged potential power shortages and said some electric infrastructure upgrades could be paid for by ratepayers. Developers would be responsible for water and sewer infrastructure upgrades needed to serve their data centers. Several data center projects are proposed in the region, with public hearings scheduled to consider zoning and permit approvals.
