Hydrofracturing happens at levels well below groundwater, and over great distances. The problem is that when the ground cracks and the shale shifts, nobody can predict where the gasses will end up escaping. I hate to think your water was contaminated from hydrofracturing, but if it was, I hope you can take action against the gas companies.

@iliketowatch1234 Thank you for getting back to me. This is all related to a college paper I'm writing. One more question, is the problem caused by a natural gas drilling well that has been in the area for over 10 years? Or are you located in a area where there is no fractal natural gas drilling?
@MAJ061785 Not a problem. We are located in Seneca County. While they do drill in our County, there are no wells anywhere close to the area. There is a pipeline west of us but I am sure there is no problem with that either. The simple fact is that Methane and Hydrogen sulfide are creating this problem. Both are very common in well water. We even called Cooperative Extension and they told us it was safe to drink.
And in case you were wondering I am pro drilling and I can light my water on fire.
Cause/effect.....water was fine, drillers move in, then water is all fracked up.....cause/effect No rocket science needed as these are often reported to correlate to the time frame of drilling nearby.
I don't buy it.... There is more to this then just pointing at big oil. It is very common to have some gas in water tables. Depending on the type of water table it is coming from. Smoke and mirrors. The left has learn how to use them very well now a days.
We are in the Finger Lakes where gas is plentiful. but this is simply methane gas that got in our well. It is not from fracking. Of course the liberals will say different because they enjoy causing trouble.
@CRschralper lol, two things. One, you claim political indifference, then turn around with an obvious political remark. The other is the All American Canal has gas in it, although that's from an industrial mishap. But yes, water tables are occasionally charged with some sort of undesirable thing naturally- try venomous moss- so why not natural flammables in some rare cases? Although I do think Fracking may be hazardous.
Are you in colorado? There is a hydraulic gas extraction process called fracking that has led a lot of the faucets in a Colorado town to do this same thing. There is even an HBO documentary coming out soon about it.
@julienlalonde I live in a small town of about 700 people, and we have natural gas distribution, but until a few years ago, NO ONE here had a municipal water system...trust me, these areas exist. The only reason that most of the people in our area have supplied water is that it was mandated...no one I know wanted to pay for pipes and chemicals. And the water SUCKS worse than well water ever did.

And I hear the water becomes Raidoactive from water soluable U229 trapped in the shale.

We have had problems ever since we bought the house about 10 years ago. Probably will never be able to sell it now.

@iliketowatch1234 Me too! I am debating the pro-side of drilling in my class. I'm in the minority but this has been extremely helpful!

Sounds like free fuel for your grill to me! Just need to figure out a way to separate from water and pressurize into tanks...

@tmgrk1
So fracking does NOT contaminate the water table AND these people are all making this up?
You're mighty quick to make this a 'right-left' issue when it is a people issue. Do you have deep respect/admiration for the Bush family?
And you should know that when the energy folks visit these homes, they themselves won't drink the water when offered it.

I'm guessing it's sewer gas...somehow its running back into your pipes.

Any gas drilling companies around that could lease your land? If the gas has no smell.. its from natural deposits of gas (not a leak).

This is methane gas coming in through your well. Natural gas is 1000's of feet below the depth of your well.

@HellisLikeNewark
actualy, it could be a leak from the intake from the underground supply of gas, if the site is close by.

I find that unlikely, where do you have natural gas distribution infrastructure, but no municipal water?
