    Maybe Mr. Slesinger needs a new brand of coffee? Or maybe Ms. S. made the coffee after a rough evening.

    Not sure what improvement the water would be if they’re only going next door to a neighbor’s well. Wouldn’t contamination affect them, too? Unless we’re talking about Canada’s Northwest Territories, where the nearest neighbor is MILES away.

      Ever had to drill for a well? Mine could be 200 feet deep. A neighbor’s just a few yards away could be 500 feet deep.

      Reality Bites is real funny. Wonder how his jokes would go if it was his water that got contaminated? By the way, the neighbor is 1 mile away with city water.

    depending upon how the water tables moves in the subsurface layers it is very possible that Mr. S’s well could be effected by the gas well drilling on the neighbor’s property and the neighbors not experience any adverse effect. research how water moves in the subsurface if you’d like to better understand that concept.

    Ever see the documentary “Gasland?” Very frightening. I’m not a rabid environmentalist but if this is what fracking does, we need to wake up.
