AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Data Centers & Water/Energy Pressure: A new Kansas Health Institute report warns AI data centers are already straining power and water—U.S. electricity use hit about 183 TWh in 2024 and could jump 133% by 2030, while direct water use (about 17 billion gallons in 2023) could double or quadruple by 2028, with many sites in water-stressed areas. Local Governance & Community Impact: In Lawrence, “Data Center Watchdogs” are organizing against proposed regional expansion, arguing Douglas County’s farmland and the Kansas River make the stakes environmental and local. Public Health & Water Safety: Valley Falls remains under a boil water advisory after a transmission-line water main break; officials say they’re awaiting KDHE test results before lifting it. Water Infrastructure: Abilene crews are working on a downtown water line break, with temporary shutdowns and lane impacts expected to last through the week. Blue-Green Algae Monitoring: Pony Creek Lake near Sabetha was added to Kansas’s blue-green algae “warning” list, with continued sampling and more KDHE testing scheduled. Agriculture & Sustainability: The EPA named Kansas farmer Chris Tanner to its Farm, Ranch, and Rural Communities advisory committee, highlighting rural environmental policy input.
