Tucson Cracks Down on Beale Infrastructure Water Use
Description
Tucsons water crisis escalates as Beale Infrastructure faces backlash for unauthorized water usage at their Project Blue data center. A contractor, Ames Construction, was caught trucking nearly 652,000 gallons of city potable water outside the service area to control dust. The city rejected the project in August 2025, but construction continues. After a citizen tip, an investigation revealed the water theft, leading to a stern letter from City Manager Tim Thomure demanding no more city water for the site. Beale claims they had a permit and followed protocol, but the city is demanding two acre-feet of water credits. If Beale remains silent, the city manager plans to involve the attorney, mayor, and council in the ongoing water dispute.
