The title is missing a significant keyword here: "construction"

A more accurate headline:

Meta data center construction allegedly muddies Georgia town's drinking water, investigation underway — EPA promises immediate investigation after congresswoman brings dirty jars of water to hearing

This isn't exclusive to datacenters, any sort of large construction projects should be under the microscope right now. If there are legal loopholes allowing water supplies to be contaminated, that should be addressed. Meta and any other companies responsible for this should be billed the costs for cleaning up or for funding additional water treatment solutions to make up for this.
