State Issues Rules on Upstate Natural Gas Drilling Near City’s Water

The New York Times September 30, 2009 By Jad Mouawad


Fearful of water contamination, enivironmental advocates advised against gas drilling near New York City's water supply. They believe that drilling into the water supply may cause the city to have contaminated water which could end up being disasterous. During the operation, state inspectors would have to be present to approve of the things being drilled.

I'm glad they are being carfeul of how they drill in the main water supply. It would be chaotic if the water in New York City became contaminated. This author made sure that he found all his facts to show how bad it could get if they don't be careful.
