MLGW는 SpaceXAI가 서비스 지역 내 다섯 번째로 많은 물을 소비할 것이라고 경고하며 새로운 단계별 요금제를 도입했다.

Memphis Light, Gas and Water (MLGW) indicated on September 1 that SpaceXAI’s data center will rank as either the fifth or seventh-largest water user by the end of the year. The update, released on September 2, 2026, at 10:20 a.m. CT, outlines the city’s expanding data center power pipeline.

The information was shared during a contentious Memphis City Council Planning and Zoning Committee session. Council members directed questions to MLGW President and CEO Doug McGowen, requesting further details on the anticipated infrastructure demands. Concurrently, the Memphis City Council continues to weigh new regulatory resolutions and a proposed temporary moratorium on data center development.
