Our house is on the side of a mountain in NE Pennsylvania. There are no developments uphill so our water supply is incredibly clean, healthy and delicious.

Several years ago, everyone on our “street” (really a rural highway) got a letter from some company offering $1,000 per acre for fracking licenses. Fortunately, everyone along our stretch said, “No, thanks!”

We did know a woman who lived several miles away who agreed and received $500K for her 50 acres. Then she sold the land and moved to Arizona. Nice.
