MADISON COUNTY, Miss. (WLBT) – Depending on where you live, the toilet water you flush could help cool a new Madison County data center.
Amazon Web Services is partnering with Veolia to use treated wastewater to cool the multibillion-dollar facility at the Mega Site near Canton.
Chris Low, executive vice president of Veolia’s Water Technologies Division in North America, said the new treatment facility should come online in 2027.
Once that happens, it will provide some 83 million gallons of treated wastewater for use solely at the facility.
