Natural gas drilling and water safety have lately been debated in Dimock, Pennsylvania, and the Environmental Protection Agency has had to step in and test water for contamination. While the EPA says that the water is testing as safe for consumption, residents of the town are claiming that their water is contaminated because of the natural gas drilling process known as “fracking” in which chemicals are injected into the ground to release deposits of natural gas. While regulators determined that the gas company did contaminate an aquifer with explosive methane gas, the water was still safe to drink. The EPA also determined that the drinking water was safe, though residents have a pending lawsuit that says otherwise.
