An Environmental Protection Agency administrator vowed to investigate if a massive Meta Inc. data center project contaminated drinking water in Morgan County, Ga., during a congressional hearing Wednesday.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) held up two jars of murky, brown drinking water she said were from the rural Georgia area she visited earlier this month. Jessica Kramer, an assistant administrator who leads the EPA’s water office, said she would probe possible water quality issues for the municipality neighboring the construction of the computing campus.
“I will be looking into exactly what you’ve just talked about, because anywhere, whatever type of construction it is, it is a priority to ensure the water quality standards established by EPA are being met,” Kramer said under oath.

Spoiler Alert!! “NOPE!!! It’s all perfectly OK with the EPA”
This EPA will probably give them a fucking high five if they find that it did contaminate the water
They are probably going to tell us they improve drinking water and we should be adding roundup to our water also…
