Rogersville, Alabama is considering a pause on new data center development after its water system reached capacity. The decision reflects growing infrastructure constraints as demand for data centre sites intensifies in the region.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you're siting a data centre in the South, Rogersville just closed. Water-constrained towns now reject new builds before they strain systems—check your target city's water authority capacity before you buy land, and talk to towns that have turned down hyperscalers about what happened to their neighbouring counties instead.
