During a packed public‑comment period, multiple residents urged the board to independently verify developer claims about groundwater, construction water needs and monitoring for the proposed Tanaska project and to press regulators (DEQ/SEC) for enforceable protections if large energy or data projects proceed.

Multiple residents and several supervisors urged the Fluvanna County Board of Supervisors to require Tanaska to supply a written, enforceable construction water management plan — with source disclosure, caps, baseline well testing and drought triggers — before construction begins.
