These two articles look similar:
Encana Oil and Gas (U.S.A.) Inc., which
bought the Pavillion gas field in 2004 and operates about 125 gas wells in
the area, is already providing jugs of drinking water for Mr. Locker and 20
other households. It is unclear whether Encana will defray any of the cost of
the cistern water.
But some locals say the draft report’s analysis of
water samples, which identified synthetic chemicals consistent with natural
gas drilling and hydraulic fracturing fluids, is proof of what they suspected
for years.
A draft report by the Environmental Protection Agency, issued
in December, appeared to confirm their concerns, linking chemicals in local
groundwater to gas drilling.
“Until there is a peer-reviewed study and a
good scientific basis that indicates that the issues related to water are
related to our operations, that is not something we are ready to address,”
said Doug Hock, an Encana spokesman.
Mr. Hock said it should have come as
no surprise that the E.P.A.’s two monitoring wells showed high levels of
methane and benzene because they were drilled deep into a natural gas field.
After an outcry from Wyoming’s governor, Matt Mead, and the energy industry
that the federal report was premature and inconclusive, more testing was
conducted by the United States Geological Survey and is being processed. The
E.P.A. is also in the midst of collecting additional water samples for study.
But here on the front lines of the battle over fracking, which has become
an increasingly popular technique to extract previously unobtainable reserves
of oil and gas, no conclusion is yet definitive.
Encana has maintained
that water in the area is naturally poor and that its operations did not
cause the problems — fracking had also occurred before the company purchased
the gas field. Moreover, the energy industry has steadfastly pointed out that
there has never been any conclusive link between fracking and water
contamination.

In the meantime, the state has offered to provide cisterns
for local residents, using $750,000 allocated by the Wyoming Legislature this
year. Under the plan, people here would still have to pay a fee to have
their water hauled from the nearby community of Pavillion, at a cost that
could run more than $150 per month.

why did you depict the water outsourcing?
