a congressional hearing, Ocasio-Cortez questioned the Environmental Protection Agency's assistant administrator for water, Jess Kramer, about whether the agency had received complaints related to data center construction and drinking water quality.\nThe New York Democrat later pointed to complaints from residents in Morgan County, Georgia, near one of Meta's data center projects.\nShe alleged that heavy construction activity, including land clearing and blasting, coincided with deteriorating well water conditions in nearby homes.\nHolding up jars of murky brown water during the hearing, Ocasio-Cortez said families in the area were now relying on bottled water for cooking and bathing.\n\"We cannot take water for granted,\" she wrote in a post on X.\nShe also said that some residents experienced falling water pressure and appliance failures, while nearby utility bills could rise by as much as 33%.\nKramer acknowledged the EPA is aware of broader concerns surrounding water availability linked to expanding data center infrastructure, but said specific water quality complaints tied to such construction had not previously been brought to her attention.\n\"As soon as I get back to the office, I will be looking into exactly what you’ve just talked about,\" Kramer said during the hearing, adding that ensuring EPA water quality standards are met remains a priority.\nThe EPA official did not confirm whether Meta's project caused the alleged issues.\nMeta did not immediately respond to Benzinga's request for comments.\nThe exchange comes as the federal government pushes to accelerate artificial intelligence infrastructure development across the United States.\nAccording to a press release from Ocasio-Cortez's office, the administration issued an executive order in July 2025 aimed at speeding up federal permitting for data center projects.\nEarlier this month, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin proposed allowing certain pre-construction activities before final environmental permits are approved.\nCritics argue that the rapid expansion of AI infrastructure could strain local water resources and environmental protections.\nPrice Action: META shares closed Thursday at $607.38, up 0.38% for the day and rose another 0.18% to $608.50 in after-hours trading, according to Benzinga Pro.\nAccording to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings, META ranks in the 89th percentile for Growth, though the stock continues to show a negative trend over the short, medium and long term.\nDisclaimer: This content was partially produced with the help of AI tools and was
