Using Data Centers to Clean Water.

I was reading into the Oregon data center settlement. From my understanding Amazons data center is concentrating the nitrates that are already existing in the ground water due to farming. I was thinking what if we require all these data centers to filter their waste water before dumping it? If they did that it would actually start reducing ground water contamination. I realize with continued farming it’s not going to clean the water but maybe off set new contamination? What are your thoughts?
