# Grady County RWD2 Regular Meeting August 20, 2026

The Grady County RWD2 Regular Meeting held on August 20, 2026, primarily focused on water and wastewater service issues related to a proposed data center development. The board discussed the inability to provide water service to the data center due to limited water resources and out-of-district status, effectively denying the request. Wastewater capacity concerns were also raised, including potential environmental risks from chemical additives in the data center's closed-loop cooling system. Additionally, the board addressed ongoing problems with the current solid waste contract, noting poor service and the need to issue a new request for proposals (RFP) to secure a different trash service provider before the existing contract expires on October 31, 2026. The board agreed to conduct a special meeting to discuss property acquisition for a test well site and to further explore trash service options. No formal votes were recorded in the transcript, but motions to decline water service to the data center and to pursue new trash service bids were implied. The meeting also included updates on regulatory compliance efforts and a board member's resignation announcement.
