A proposal to build a water-guzzling data center near Tucson, Arizona, led the city to put some regulations on water use.

In the first phase of Project Blue, the data center requires 300 megawatts daily to run efficiently. Think of a Target or a Walmart Supercenter. They only use 1 megawatt of power.

"This battle is just the beginning for Tucson,” said Councilmember Rocque Perez as the council voted against the Project Blue mega data center plan.

TUCSON, Ariz. — If you live in or around Tucson, it's hard to avoid hearing about Project Blue. The large proposed data center would be built on 290 acres near the Pima County Fairgrounds.

The Tucson City Council voted unanimously to kill Project Blue, a large data center proposed for land near I-10 and Houghton.
