    What’s in the water? What we know and don’t know about data center water discharge in Virginia

    Data centers in Virginia discharge water into municipal wastewater systems or natural sources like Northeast Creek and Sedges Creek. Amazon's Lake Anna Tech Park uses evaporative cooling with non-contact water, which is dechlorinated and pH-balanced before release. Concerns persist about potential 'forever chemicals' in discharge, though treatment standards are in place.
