Rejected petition: SAY YES TO USING OUR HOSE PIPES!

Rejected on

Prioritise household and agricultural water use over new data centre water consumption! We want the Government to prioritise water for households, gardens, trees, food production and agriculture before approving new data centres that require significant amounts of water for cooling.

Prioritise water supplies for households, agriculture and essential public services during droughts.


Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We aren't clear whether this is principally about opposition to data centres or water supply issues.

There are two petitions already open which you may be interested in signing:

"Independent environmental impact assessment for data centres & make AI opt-in"
https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/776179

"Ban the construction of new AI data centres" https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/776517

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
