Flaming and salty water in Barnett Shale

October 7, 2010 By TXsharon

Water, water, everywhere,
And all the boards did shrink;
Water, water, everywhere,
Nor any drop to drink.

WFAA has an update on the flaming water in Montague County.

Texas acts on flaming faucets in Montague County

Brock recently sued the Jack Grace production company of Wichita Falls, which once operated an oil well nearby. According to the suit, tests on Brock’s well water revealed extremely high chloride levels as well as arsenic, chromium, barium, mercury and methane.

Larry Bisidas who has been drilling water wells for 4 decades is also interviewed because his water well in Wise County is contaminated.

Amy Mall, NRDC, blogged about our Barnett Shale water:
