DATA CENTER DEVELOPER NOW SEEKING COLORADO RIVER WATER FOR IMPERIAL VALLEY PROJECT

A proposed data center campus near the City of Imperial is drawing increased attention after reports surfaced that the developer is seeking access to Colorado River water through legal action.

The project, planned near Aten and Clark roads, would include a large-scale data center campus and significant power infrastructure.

IID officials have repeatedly stated that protecting ratepayers, maintaining grid reliability, and preserving Imperial Valley’s water resources remain top priorities. The district has also emphasized that large industrial projects should pay for any infrastructure upgrades they require.

Supporters argue projects like this could bring investment and jobs to the Valley. Critics have raised concerns about potential impacts on water resources and the electrical grid.

The issue is expected to remain a major topic of discussion as it moves through the legal and regulatory process. What do you think? Link to lawsuit in comments
