Every Virginia Board of Supervisors has the legal authority RIGHT NOW under Va. Code sections 15.2-2280 and 15.2-2286 to require Special Use Permits (SPEX) for data centers. Loudoun voted 7-2 on March 18, 2025 to end by-right data center approvals. Prince William voted 8-0 against a 2,000-acre proposal. Shenandoah had the authority before Takanock manufactured a vesting letter. The failure to use it is political — not legal.
Data centers are the fastest-growing industrial water users in America. Northern Virginia alone consumed 2 billion gallons in 2023 — an 86% increase since 2019. The Potomac River, drinking water for 5 million people, has 12% of its summer flow consumed by data centers. Amazon paid $20.5M in 2026 after contaminating Oregon wells. Illinois passed emergency legislation to protect the Mahomet Aquifer. Virginia has no equivalent protection.
