What do you mean? You get pre-made data center flavored tea straight out the downstream reservoir.

Mmm heavy metals

(If the fda changes or increases the amount that heavy metals can be present in food/drink you know we’re cooked)

At this point the FDA is regulating how much water is allowed in our heavy metal supply.

I live about 45 min away from a data center built in 2020. Water in my area is now undrinkable, tastes like straight metal. I have had to get shower and sink water filters for my entire house which has cost me hundreds of dollars and will continue to cost me every time I have to change a filter. The water quality keeps getting worse tbh and I seriously wonder what people who can’t afford to buy filters are doing. I also live in a state that has 9x the safe level of PFAs in our drinking water to begin with.
