Creating Water from Power in Utah | Salt Lake City News

In Utah’s arid Millard County, a massive new data center is rising—and with it, a bold claim: it could create thousands of acre-feet of water annually. Powered by natural gas, solar, and geothermal, the facility uses exhaust steam from gas combustion, guided through underground rocks to condense and collect water. Creekstone Energy, partnering with the University of Utah, says this tech turns waste into resource—potentially for agriculture or even drinking water. But skeptics, including locals with deep filtration experience, demand proof: will it really work? And more importantly, what impact might it have on the aquifer? While construction moves forward and first computers are set to launch next year, the science behind “water creation” remains unproven. The community watches closely—growth mustn’t come at the cost of their water future. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
