Aurora City Council is currently governing city operations, which include the implementation of new rules for data centers. These rules include a ban on the use of water-hungry evaporative cooling systems for any business operating in the city. The council's actions follow concerns raised by residents regarding the large-scale resource consumption of data centers, such as water and electricity.

Why it matters

The city's actions reflect a trend seen in several cities across Colorado, including Commerce City, which have introduced temporary bans on new data centers due to resource strain. The Aurora council narrowly rejected a moratorium on data centers in August but is now establishing operational rules for the facilities.
