Dimock PA water woes continue [View all]
with a decision to let them down..... again. First Cabot Oil was able to get out of their obligation to furnish water after fracking tainted the water from their wells. Now the EPA has put them on the spot with no notice.
From the link:
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency abruptly changed its mind on Saturday about delivering fresh water to residents of a Northeastern Pennsylvania village where residential wells were found to be tainted by a natural gas drilling operation.
Only 24 hours after promising them water, EPA officials informed residents of Dimock that a tanker truck would not be coming after all -- an about-face that left them furious, confused and let down and once again scrambling for water for bathing, washing dishes and flushing toilets.
Agency officials would not explain why they reneged on their promise or say whether water would be delivered at some point.
