Co-hosted with Young Gifted & Green and Black Voters Matter

Memphis deserves answers about xAI’s massive water demands and the stalled water reuse facility. The future of the Memphis Sand Aquifer and our drinking water should not be decided behind closed doors. We're calling for a public hearing!Join Protect Our Aquifer, Young, Gifted & Green, and Black Voters Matter for a Public Comment Training to learn:

• The latest on xAI’s water use & stalled reuse facility
• Why this matters for Memphis communities and groundwater protection
• How to give effective public comments at City Council and/or MLGW meetings
• Tips for speaking clearly, confidently, and making your voice countWhether you’ve spoken publicly before or this is your first time, we’ll help you prepare.

Now is the time for Memphis residents to show up, ask questions, and demand transparency and accountability on water use.

The "world's largest" supercomputer is running in Memphis, TN. xAI promised to build a water reuse facility to stay off of our drinking water supply: the Memphis Sand Aquifer. On April 8, 2026, that promise was broken and construction is paused. Without the water reuse facility, xAI will require up to 5 million gallons of water per day in an area threatened with arsenic pollution and fragile water infrastructure.

Is it fair that the largest water users pay less per gallon than residents? MLGW is planning on raising our water rates in 2027. Sign the petition today and demand: Stop the steep regressive discount for industrial water users and reform rates into a fair, progressive structure.
