Bitcoin Mining Property Linked to El Reno Water Leak

El Reno officials have identified the source of a major water leak that forced El Reno Public Schools to close for multiple days. The leak was found on property used for Bitcoin mining and is estimated to have lost over 3 million gallons of water.

The damaged water line was located on private property owned by Athlon Blockchain Technology LLC, which has been cited after failing several fire code-related inspections.

City officials also stated that the city issued no permits for a data center on the property where the leak occurred.
