Today, 1-20-12, Press Conference at the Sautner House in Dimock, Pa., Susquehanna County, where Julia Walsh of Frackaction.org of NY introduces Dimock residents with polluted water. Craig Sautner speaks, followed by Victoria Switzer, then Silver Lake resident, Craig Stevens and Josh Fox, "Gasland", Producer. EPA decides to bring water in a large tanker for polluted residents after reviewing more test data received by Cabot Gas and DEP and EPA will test 61 homes in the area starting this Monday and Tuesday and continue to bring water to several homes in Dimock. Industrial chemicals, barium , arsenic and metals, besides methane found in the water. Four EPA people were there.
Only four homes in Dimock are slated to receive clean water from the EPA so far, but there are many more homes still in need of clean water.
THANK YOU, EPA, FOR BRINGING CLEAN WATER TO DIMOCK. A GOOD START, BUT THERE ARE MANY MORE FAMILIES IN NEED OF CLEAN WATER.

Why are only a few homes getting water when others need it, too? It doesn't make any sense. Is it a matter of the severity of the symptoms? Are Grandma's lips just not quite blue enough to qualify yet?
One would like to believe that there is a good reason why only 4 households are getting water to start with. However, I can't imagine why most of the affected families are having to wait. There are families with children involved. I can't imagine what it must be like for those parents.
