Cheyenne officials haven’t said who polluted its reuse water system
Speculation is growing over whether a data center could be linked to a rare bacterium discovered in Cheyenne’s reuse wastewater system earlier this year, as city officials continue to withhold the identity of the industrial user responsible for the discharge. Four days after the Cheyenne Board of Public Utilities publicly disclosed the contamination, which happened in February, officials have yet to identify either the company or the industry involved, saying legal and regulatory reviews are still underway. … The Board of Public Utilities has fielded multiple public records requests as residents demand to know what industry is behind the hazardous discharge, who the offender is and why the public wasn’t notified as soon as the contaminant was discovered in February.
