A massive new data center is going up in Utah. The kind of facility that needs millions of gallons of water a day to cool its servers, and enough power to run a small city. In a state already managing drought conditions and grid strain, that's not a small footprint. AI data centers consumed 17 billion gallons of water nationally in 2023, projected to hit 68 billion by 2028. A single large facility can pull 5 million gallons a day, equivalent to a town of 50,000 people. Most residents are learning about the water deals and power agreements through reporting, after the agreements are already signed. That's a pattern worth paying attention to. This is exactly the kind of situation where you'll be glad to have an Alexapure Pro water filter on the counter and a Grid Doctor in the closet. That level of demand won't be slowed down by public objection. Having your own filtration and your own backup power keeps your family off the same straw. What does resilience look like in your house?
