Opposition and litigation at this site
Partly. Both documented support and documented opposition to Meta Eagle Mountain Data Center Campus in Eagle Mountain, Utah County, Utah appear in the record, with no clear majority position. The city strongly supports the campus (it anchors the general fund; Meta reports $1.5B+ in cumulative Utah data-center investment and $4.1M+ in local school and nonprofit grants since 2019), but arid-Utah water use is contested, state lawmakers passed a 2026 data-center water-reporting law (HB76) partly in response, and the 2018 confidentiality agreement over water data drew criticism.
How the community has taken it
Reception is a sourced signal, not an editorial judgment: mixed reception means documented support and documented opposition both exist with no clear majority position on record.
The city strongly supports the campus (it anchors the general fund; Meta reports $1.5B+ in cumulative Utah data-center investment and $4.1M+ in local school and nonprofit grants since 2019), but arid-Utah water use is contested, state lawmakers passed a 2026 data-center water-reporting law (HB76) partly in response, and the 2018 confidentiality agreement over water data drew criticism.
Power and water
100% renewable match via Rocky Mountain Power's Schedule 34 green tariff, backed by dedicated solar PPAs, including the 525 MWac Faraday Solar project (Utah's largest, online Oct 2025), Appaloosa Solar (120 MW), and Graphite Solar (104 MW). Meta says its Utah projects add 1,719 MW of new renewables; buildings are LEED Gold.
Air-side economizer with evaporative assist and multi-pass water reuse. The campus consumed ~35.1 million gallons in 2024 (city data reported by Grist), more than double 2021. A 2018 confidentiality agreement kept monthly water use private and obliged the city to alert Meta to records requests, drawing transparency criticism. Meta pledges 200% water restoration by 2030 (e.g., a $200K Hobble Creek flow-restoration grant).

Which document closes each gap
- Power capacity in megawatts
- The utility's large load service agreement, the interconnection request in the grid operator's queue, or the electrical site plan in the permit file.
