This all happened in 2009, but some people are just finding out about it. What happened to contaminate the public water well in Ulster, PA, in 2009? This article does not explain that. How did the water get polluted? And why did the 12 other test wells dug to attempt to find good, safe water, turn up nothing acceptable? They had to spend $3 million dollars to remedy the situation which affected only 183 customers. The money was obtained through the PennVest program. This is a state agency, so I would assume the taxpayers of PA are funding it.

In 1930, my greatgrandparents purchased a beautiful farm in Bradford County, PA, in a little hamlet called French Azilum. In the summer, we spent time there, resting, breathing in the fresh air, enjoying the wild flowers, the bright stars and planets on a clear moonlit night, and swimming in the Susquehanna River. If gas drilling is allowed to continue, Bradford County and all of Pennsylvania will be forever changed, ruined beyond repair.
