Construction and vibrations caused by the generators disturb well water systems. Or if a main is close enough, heavy construction will settel the ground and break pipes.

All the data center issues are caused by people and towns not classifying them as heavy industry. Do you want an aluminum foundry in your back yard? No, then same goes for a data center.
