UTAH is preparing to cut off the water supply to the National Security Agency’s (NSA) data center in its own back yard. Legislation will go before the entire Utah House of Representatives in 2015.

According to Wired.com, NSA brought the massive data center "online about a year ago." It is a 1-million-square-foot building which houses servers that hold data for NSA. "Millions of gallons of local water" are required to keep the servers cool.

Utah state representative Marc Roberts introduced the legislation, designed to cut off the water supply. The bill requires municipalities to "refuse support to any federal agency which collects electronic data within [the] state."

The HB 161 legislation would ‘grandfather in’ present financial agreements with the NSA data center, but when those agreements expire, the new legislation would prohibit further cooperation with the NSA.

Representative Roger Barrus said in a speech supporting the legislation: "I just don't want to subsidize what the NSA is doing on the backs of our citizens."

Davis County Republican Party vice chair Joe Levi said: "This is not a bill just about a data center. This is a bill about civil rights."
